And then the baby smiled...

And our hearts were full

and we were in love.

We watched him take steps

and we looked as he wobbled

And our hearts they celebrated

and our pride it flew

We leaned for his kisses

and giggled at his slobber

And our hearts they swelled

and our arms they squeezed

We heard him say words

and we listened to his sweetness

And our hearts grew around him

and we knew he was ours

We felt his first hugs

and smiled at his pinches

And our hearts forgave all

never-minded his rough love

We endured all his fusses

and wound our way through it

And our hearts they were his

yes, he dwelled in the middle.
