Jen Cass: Music
Madeleine
Madeleine’s got a balloon in her hand
Which she got from a clown near the lemonade stand
Mom’s got her left wrist and Dad’s got her right
She swings through the air as the carnival lights fill the sky
She says, “Look I can fly!”
Madeleine’s dancing with her daddy Joe
She stands on his feet so she knows where to go
Mom’s taking pictures so they can recall
When she’s off to the prom that she once was this small
And she says, “Daddy spin me again!”
CHORUS:
Madeleine you’ll find there’s so much to know
In a world full of wonderful things you will grow
You’ve got a heart that is sent from above
Like your dad’s endless patience
Your mom’s endless love
Madeleine’s fishing with Grandma at dawn
And she’s waving to Grandpa he’s mowing the lawn
She stole their hearts like a thief in the night
But she loves them right back loves with all of her might
And she’s strong
This is where she belongs
I can remember when I was that small
Not a care in the world so in love with it all
I think it’s a gift that we get from our kids
When we look in their eyes
We know just how to live
And we try to remember to fly
CHORUS
Madeleine fly…
