August 30 - "Hey Pretty Girl"

Prior to being pregnant I listened to country music, but over the last 9 months I seem to be listening to even more of it. Not to mention singing louder than usual, so Brooke can enjoy the tunes as well! In the first few months, when I was hormonal (and very emotional), I remember getting teary-eyed as I listened to songs that had anything to do with the love of a daughter, especially "I loved her first" by Heartland. 

In recent weeks, I have a new found love for another song "Hey Pretty Girl" by Kipp Moore. It is about a man and the love he has for a "pretty girl", the life he wants to build with her and the daughter they have together. I'm not going to lie, it brings tears to my eyes literally every time I hear it. I absolutely love it, and have to share the lyrics, in case there is anyone who has not heard it. Enjoy!

Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way

Love's in the air tonight

You can bet you make this ol' boy's day

Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way

Hey pretty girl, can I have this dance

And the next one after that

Gonna make you mine there's a real good chance

Hey pretty girl, can I have this dance

Hey pretty girl, it feels so right

Just like it's meant to be

All wrapped up in my arms so tight

Hey pretty girl, it feels so right

Life's a long and winding ride

Better have the right one by your side

And happiness don't drag its feet

Time moves faster than you think

Hey pretty girl, wanna take you home

My momma's gonna love you

She'll make me sleep on the couch, I know

Hey pretty girl, wanna take you home

Hey pretty girl, let's build some dreams

And a house on a piece of land

We'll plant some roots and some apple trees

Hey pretty girl, let's build some dreams

Life's a long and winding ride

Better have the right one by your side

Happiness don't drag its feet

And time moves faster than you think

Hey pretty girl, you did so good

Our baby's got your eyes

And a fighter's heart like I knew she would

Hey pretty girl, you did so good

Hey pretty girl, when I see the light

And it's my time to go

I'm gonna thank the Lord for a real good life

A pretty little girl and a beautiful wife

I love you Michael Wade Taylor, and there's no doubt life is better with you by my side. I can't wait for our daughter to join us! lym
