Song for Jordan

PWS / 1988

Middle Of October, Old Man Winter's On The Way
His Uncle Hit A Dry Spell Needs A Song That He Can Play
So With A Little Bit Of Drama A Baby Boy Is Born Today
Another Blossom Of The Love They Have Shown
Nineteen Eighty Five Now Has A Child Of Its Own

Jordan Is Awake He Needs Someone To Hold Him Tight
His Mother Doesn't Mind Though It's The Middle Of The Night
She Knows These Days Won't Last Forever And She Cherishes The Sight
The Little One Who Lays So Helpless And Warm
Will Someday Be Lifting Her In His Arms

Somewhere Inside There's A Man
Got His Thumbs In His Suspenders And He's Smilin' Like No One Else Can
Somewhere Inside There's A Man
He's Just A Boy Now But He'll Make Us Proud

He Wants To Know What Makes This And That Go
He'll Never Hand It To Ya As Long As He Can Throw
From His Two Sisters He Will Learn All The Things He Needs To Know
Growing Up To Be So Handsome And Strong
A Little Brother They Will Be Leaning On

Wrestling With Daddy To Prove That He Is Strong
Racing Sister To The Mailbox And He Hollars That He Won
But When Those Little Legs Won't Hold Him And He Tumbles To The Ground
He Comes To Momma With A Tear In His Eye
This Little Man Still Needs A Place He Can Cry
