Before there was you,
Life had less stress.
No constant worries,
No cleaning your mess.
Before there was you,
I could have a lie in.
Not up at dawn,
Taking nappies to the bin.
Before there was you,
I could shower alone.
Stay out til late,
Spend hours on the phone.
Before there was you,
I could choose my tv.
Instead I watch Mr tumble,
Each day on repeat.
Before there was you,
I could get ready at leisure.
But my love for you now-
I simply can’t measure.
My life has changed completely,
But this much is true.
I never knew pure love,
Until I had you.
Suddenly you’re not a baby,
And I’m sat asking why.
And how we take for granted,
How fast years go by.
So I will treasure each second,
Each sweet memory,
Because always in my heart,
You’ll be my baby.
