about

All proceeds from this track will be donated to the FVRH NICU (Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).

This song was written for my premature niece, Eliza.
It symbolises the incredible strength carried by the parents of premature babies, the Forth Valley Neonatal ward who cared for both Eliza and my premature nephew Cooper, and reminds us that little miracles do come true.

lyrics

Dear Eliza

Verse 1.
Dear Eliza
I'm counting down the days till I see you
It might take a bit of getting used to
This family of mine you've been born into

But there's one thing that you'll have to remember
Though some days will feel hard they will get better
This families by your side, come whatever

Pre Chorus.
It's okay to make mistakes
We've all felt the same heartache
It's just learning how to bend before we break

Chorus.
If I can teach you anything about this crazy life
It's for living, it's for giving everything you've got
It's for chasing down your dreams, as impossible as they'll sometimes seem
But dear Eliza, impossible comes true
Cause we have you

Verse 2.
Dear Eliza,
I know that we haven't said hello yet
But time's slipping through your tiny hands
Just promise me, you wont grow up before you get the chance to
Fall a few time trying to learn to walk
Say the wrong words learning how to talk to
The kinda boy, who'll cry love, to steal your heart from you

Pre Chorus.
Chorus.

Outro...
Dear Eliza,
I'm counting down the days till I see you
