Watch Them Grow

I am super-in-love with this song by Zach Gill. It’s a beautiful melody which is why I let it move into my heart. And then, then I heard the words and the clouds parted. I fell to the floor from an over-whelming sense of uncontainable love and emotion for that son of ours.

I haven’t yet turned the repeat mode off.

Damn breast feeding hormones.

I love that kid.


Watch them Grow

She’s close to God, I’m sure of that
She sits him down, and they have a chat
She asks for sunshine, and he agrees
You see, for her, He’d do anything

You watch them grow, then you let ’em go

She is a monkey, and I’m her tree
And now she’s climbing all over me
Swinging on my vines dancing on my limbs
Her monkey sounds sound like angel's hymns

You watch them grow, then you let ’em go
You watch them grow, then you let ’em go

She is an angel, she is an imp
She’s got my big toe, and her mother’s lips
She gives fishy kisses, and great big bear hugs
42 pounds of pure love
Then one day she’ll be 17, feelin’ too big for her home
Seems she was just only 3, oh how our children they grow

You watch them grow, then you let ’em go
You watch them grow, then you let ’em go
You watch them grow, then you let ’em go
You watch them grow, then you let ’em go

Then one day she’ll be 33, maybe with a child of her own
Seems she was just 17, oh how our children they grow
He'll ask for sunshine, and she’ll agree
You see for him, she’d do anything
He is her child, the center of her world
She is his mother... my little girl

You watch them grow, then you let ’em go
You watch them grow, then you let ’em go

Zach does not have any official videos at this time, nor any live performances that I know of. This is what I could find. I’ll pass the tissue, I promise.
