	Story Behind the Song This is most definitely an outtake of my song about my son. The instrumental track is the same as the final version, but the backing and lead vocals are different. In addition, the last verse was thrown out and re-written in the final version (not that I sang it very well in this take anyway). It gives a rare glimpse of the standard Footcandles count-in, and an even rarer glimpse of the songwriting/arranging process. Usually, I have my tunes completely worked out before I step into the recording studio, but in this case, I was (obviously) still thinking things out. The order of overdubs: backing instrumental, guitar, low harmony, high harmony, lead vocal.

Da da da da daaa. There's a little boy, he's leaning on my shoulder He's looking up at me as I watch him grow older And it won't be long before he's too big to hold Sometimes late at night when I'm frustrated I just think back how much I was elated When you were born and just a minute old I said I'll Be here beside you Drew, I'll Be here beside you Whenever you're hungry or you need a changing I'll be there for you Drew I'll Be here beside you Yes, I'll Be here beside you Whenever you're crying, afraid of the dark I will comfort you. I know rocking you to sleep will take a while But I could wait forever just to see you smile And laugh--ugh!--you give me so much joy. Ahem. Babbling will soon enough give way to talking And crawling up the stairs will give way to walking But through it all, you're my little boy (CHORUS) The other night at nine o'clock you had a nightmare Do you remember how Mom and Dad were right there When you were scared, it was scary for us too I'll improvise this verse for I can tell you It ain't no way to be in Bellevue (?!?!) But give me time, I'll learn what to do (CHORUS) From your first loose tooth to your driver's license I'll be there with aaa happiness and crisis (That doesn't scan) when I cannot sing to you But for now my boy I am in your power I could play with you after hour aftaaaaa Blah blah blah, a single thing you do (CHORUS) Whatta ya say Drew? Whatta ya say.... Now I laugh. Ha ha ha ha.
