lightning crashes- live, its on the throwing copper cd, its a bit mournful to some i guess, but it came out just around my first daughters birth and i still get choked up when i hear it, i think he even wrote the song for his own daughter

The song that comes to mind for me is "your having my baby" Paul Anka....it has beautiful lyrics about a women having a baby .

there goes my life by kenny chesney.

 Its from a fathers point of view from when he first found out he was gonna be a dad til his child leaves home.

Original...

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

Mels...

The babes in the cradle and he smells like poo
Daddies turn to change it hell be there soon
When hes finished wiping
then you will be all clean, you know you'll have a clean bummmm
you know you have a clean bum theeeeennnn

Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel) by Billy Joel , he wrote this song for his daughter when he and Christie Brinkley divorced.[b][/b]

I will take care of you - amy sky..

this song tells the story of a mother giving birth to her daughter..watching her grow.. taking care of her ...watching her get married. . then it turns.. and the daughter is taking care of the mother... its beautiful, my ex bought it forme when our daughter was born, and it used to reduce me to tears every time..

the chorus goes:

i will take care of you

the very best that i can

with all of the love here in my heart and all of the strength in my hands

your every joy ill share

for every tear i'll be there,

my whole life through

i will, take care of you 

Thanks so much for your help everyone. I'll save your ideas for future reference but this time im gonna go with Sweet child of mine. Thank you so much! I knew I could rely on you hehe

Funny I heard a song just like this today... Believe it or not I found it hidden in my stepdaughters room among her old tapes.. I will have to look at the name of it to see if I can read it but the tape is so old that the words have been wiped. I will take a closer look...

I know the first lines are something along the lines of a family is happy when the new baby arrives... And I found it on the Smurfs... LOL
