Birthday Song for Eva
Eva, this song is for you. Mommy hasn't picked up her guitar in years, but I heard this song for the first time today, on your birthday, and just had to sing it for you.

I love you sweetie-pie, you are beautiful inside and out. Happy 5th Birthday.


Never Grow up
By: Taylor Swift

Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight

To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that
(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Wont let no one break your heart
No one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up


My really long disclaimer:
-This is only part of the song, listen here for the rest
-I'm sorry, Taylor, for butchering it, I've only heard it twice
-Yep, that's me in a ponytail, hoodie and no makeup. Sorry. December isn't being good to me.
-I am sitting in front of my iMac, filming this with the iSight camera. I only found out this was possible 1.5 seconds before I did it. As you can see, I have no clue what I'm doing.
-Really, what I'm trying to say is: I love my girl, and I don't mind completely embarrassing myself for her on her birthday.

Happy 5th Birthday, Eva!!
