From the recording Here
I wrote this song for our first daughter, Breiana, when she was only weeks old (back in 1985!)
Lyrics
Little Breiana don’t you cry.
You look so beautiful when you’re sleeping.
But with your eyes open wide,
I’m sure your thinking of bills to pay.
Or how the Seahawks did today.
Or maybe you’re thinking instead,
How you can barely lift your head.
Little Breiana don’t you cry.
You look so peaceful when you’re sleeping.
But with your eyes open wide,
I’m sure your thinking of algebra.
Or about the problems in America.
Or maybe you’re wondering why,
Your diaper is seldom dry.
Little Breiana don’t you cry.
Papa’s going to sing you to sleep.
And as you finally close your eyes.
Did you know I’m thinking of you tonight.
And how I’d stay here til morning light.
So I could be the first one to see,
Your beautiful eyes open for me.
Little Breiana don’t you cry.
