The Rhinestone Baby


(Press play on the video above before continuing!)
————————————————–

(Sung by 13 Month old Jack-Evan, Typed by Mommy)

June 2009 by you.

I’ve been walkin’ these streets so long
Singin’ the same old song

June 2009 by you.
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle’s the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain

June 2009 by you.

There’s been a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon

June 2009 by you.

But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin’ on me!

My Little Cowboy by you.

Like a rhinestone baby
Riding out on a steed in a rocky-horse rodeo

My Little Cowboy by you.

Like a rhinestone baby
Getting cards and letters from people I don’t even know

My Little Cowboy by you.

…..and offers comin’ over the phone!

My Little Cowboy by you.

Well, I really don’t mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain

My Little Cowboy by you.

But you’re down when you’re ridin’ the train that’s takin’ the long way
And I dream of the things I’ll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe

My Little Cowboy by you.

There’ll be a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon

My Little Cowboy by you.

But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin’ on me

My Little Cowboy by you.

Like a rhinestone baby
Riding out on a steed in a rocky-horse rodeo

My Little Cowboy by you.

Rhinestone baby….
Gettin’ cards and letters from people I don’t even know

June 2009 by you.

And offers comin’ over the phone!

Where is L-O-V-E?

Some commercials  would have you believe that “L-o-v-e” comes packaged in petals and chocolate, red & white, paper hearts and hallmark cards, dinner and a movie, candelight and music, or in one commercialized day in February.  

I say, it just ain’t so.

So where is “L-O-V-E”?

Trip to NY 2009 by you.

“L-o-v-e” comes packaged in hats and coats.

“L-0-v-e” comes packaged during a slide on the snow. (Quick! Did you miss it?)

L-o-v-e  comes packaged in an afternoon nap.  Shhhhh….

100_4054 by you.

“L-o-v-e” comes packaged in a playful grin.

100_4072 by you.

“L-o-v-e” comes packaged in the everyday, ordinary aspects of life.

100_4059 by you.

You know, those things that we overlook in our day to day, hurried existance.

100_4090 by you.

Things such as a husband’s hearty laugh, a baby’s drool, a mother’s homemade meal
or simply
that single moment in time which is now gone forever.

Have you paid enough attention to all the “L-o-v-e” packaged around you lately?
