Milly's Journey: A Lullaby of Love and Growing Up
Lyrics
Just a little girl in this world brand new
Introduction of a newborn girl to the world.
Takes it all in with a cry and a coo
Describing the baby's initial experiences.
The sights and the sense of a voice she hears
Awareness of surroundings, possibly the mother's voice.
These arms are gonna hold you safe and near
Expression of the protective nature of the parent's arms.
We can hear your voice from the other room
Parents acknowledging the baby's presence from a distance.
Give us just a moment we’ll be there soon
Assurance that the parents will be there soon.
The stretch and the sigh of those tired eyes
Describing the baby's tired eyes and body stretch.
Morning my baby come see the sunrise
Greeting the baby in the morning and referencing sunrise.
You can close your eyes to your daddy's humming
Soothing the baby with the father's humming.
As he pulls you in close for a kiss goodnight
A tender moment of a father's kiss goodnight.
Mama's close by on her guitar strummin'
Mention of the mother playing guitar nearby.
We love you more Milly as the days go by
Expressing growing love for the child over time.
Everybody says that the years fly past
Commenting on the common perception that time passes quickly.
The nights seem slow but the day goes fast
Highlighting the subjective experience of time.
Never wanna wish the time away
Expressing a desire to cherish every moment.
Oh my Milly my little girl you’ll stay
Affirmation that the child will remain a cherished part of life.
You can close your eyes to your daddy's humming
Repetition of the soothing effect of the father's humming.
As he pulls you in close for a kiss goodnight
Reiteration of the tender kiss goodnight ritual.
Mama's close by on her guitar strummin'
Reassurance of the mother's presence through guitar playing.
We love you more Milly as the days go by
Reaffirmation of growing love for the child over time.
You can close your eyes to your daddy's humming
Continued reassurance through the father's humming.
As he pulls you in close for a kiss goodnight
Repeat of the tender kiss goodnight ritual.
Mama's close by on her guitar strummin'
Confirmation of the mother's presence with the guitar.
We love you more Milly as the days go by
Reiteration of growing love for the child over time.
You can close your eyes cause today is over
Suggesting the end of the day and the need to rest.
We're tuckin' you in so warm and tight
Tucking the child in and ensuring warmth and security.
Rest your little head cause tomorrow’s coming 
Encouraging the child to rest for the challenges of the next day.
We love you more Milly as the days go by
Final expression of enduring love for the child as time passes.
