[Verse 1] You came out at six pounds, twelve ounces So tiny, I was scared to breathe near you Now you’re 11 pounds…eleven! I blinked, how’d you do that? You’re still so little But you’re already outgrowing your newborn jammies And I’m not ready [pre-chorus 1] Time is slipping through my fingers I don’t want it to, Ivy, I really don’t And you do that thing, that little eyebrow raise Like you’re looking at me going “Mom, what the heck are we even doing?” And honestly? I don’t always know either, baby But we’re figuring it out together, with daddy And together, he-tah, we’ll learn and grow [Chorus] Ivy, Ivy Momma has a baby named Ivy Yes, I do, She’s so cute, Oh, my Ivy, Ivy I love you so much, my pretty baby I love you oh, oh so much My perfect girl, so sweet, so small Forever my, my baby Ivy Ivy, Ivy Momma has a baby named Ivy Yes, I do, she’s so cute, Forever momma’s baby girl [verse 2] You’re discovering your tiny hands Grabbing rattles, blankets, and momma’s hair strands Taking in the world while you’re awake or asleep You watch our faces, study our moves Figuring out all the little grooves [pre-chorus 2] You fake a cry when you want to be walked A little performance, so well-rehearsed But left alone in the backseat, you cry so hard you turn blue And I race back to you, scared through and through But then you giggle, That beautiful sound It turns my whole world around That smile of yours, it lights the dark And leaves a permanent, joyful mark [chorus] Ivy, Ivy Momma has a baby named Ivy Yes, I do, she’s so cute Oh, my Ivy, Ivy I love you so much, my pretty baby I love you oh, oh so much My perfect girl, so sweet, so small Forever my, my baby Ivy Ivy, Ivy Momma has a baby named Ivy Yes, I do, she’s so cute Forever momma’s baby girl [bridge] At night I hold you close and tight And beg the clock to pause the night Facetime calls while I’m away I miss you more than words can say Your crazy hair, a sweet, wild mess I trace your face while you rest A tiny mirror, it’s plain to see Mi Chiquita Boo Boo, you’re mine to keep From six pounds twelve ounces to eleven pounds now You’ve grown so fast, I don’t know how But in my arms, you’ll always last [final chorus] Ivy, Ivy, Mama has a baby named Ivy. Yes, I do, she's so cute, Oh, my Ivy, Ivy. I love you so much, my pretty baby, I love you oh, oh so much. My perfect girl, so sweet, so small, Forever my, my baby Ivy. Ivy, Ivy... Yes, I do, she's so cute... Forever Mama's baby girl.
