Isabel

Wrote a song for my daughter Isabel for Valentines Day. Hope you all enjoy it too. It's very personal and special to me - just like her. Many of you listening will know this already, but you can find the music we make together here: https://suno.com/@happydappydj <3 <3 <3 --------------------------------- [Verse 1] I took my shirt off in the maternity ward To hold you close against my skin A tiny heartbeat sharing all of my warmth With your head tucked under my chin Our nights were spent beneath that rusty chandelier The only way to calm you down Bouncing in the kitchen while you watched the fridge Laughing at magnets dancing round [Chorus] Stay wild and free, my darling Isabel Don't let the adults break your shell But guard your heart, the monsters know How to hurt you when you're low You hold my finger when we cross the road And the hardest part will be... to let go [Verse 2] The world went quiet with Covid and we walked alone Walking round the empty shopping mall You'd run and giggle across the shiny shop floor And I was there to catch you if you fall Then we'd go home and you'd leap on the fluffy rug Like wrestlers you saw on TV The greatest champion that the world has ever seen Because you'd pile on top of me [Verse 3] We were pals making music, attached at the hip Making new stories on the screen Songs about your friends, a cat with special powers The most joyful artistic team [Chorus] Stay wild and free, my darling Isabel Don't let the adults break your shell But guard your heart, the monsters know How to hurt you when you're low You hold my finger when we cross the road And the hardest part will be... to let go [Bridge] I see the slow separation and the closed bedroom door You don't need me to play with you much anymore You come home with a scrape or a story from school And I can't protect you when children are cruel [Chorus] Stay wild and free, my darling Isabel Don't let the adults break your shell But guard your heart, the monsters know How to hurt you when you're low You hold my my finger when we cross the road And the hardest part will be... to let go [Outro] But I’ll be right here when you do Watching out for you Isabel
