Sweet Little Baby Chile

by nomi338

You sweet little brown eyed baby chile
Lookin' at you I can't help but smile
Fat little cheeks and bright sparklin' eyes
You lift my spirits high as the skies

To hear you laugh, makes me laugh some too
Nothin' in the world I would not do
To make you happy, to see your grin
Till the day, I die I'll be your frien'

I'm gon' watch you grow so I can see
Jus' how big you might come to be
you'll be cute, cause you already are
you might even be a movie star

We all waited for you to get here
Had a strong feeling that day was near
When the news came, we all had a smile
Welcome to this new sweet baby chile.
