The birth of our daughter, Claire, was one of the most
beautifully bonding times for me and Sharon, coming as it did
seven years into our marriage - and several weeks early.

This short and simple song was sung to Claire frequently,
especially at bed time, for the first few years of her life.

JUST A LITTLE GIRL
Summer 1998, Raleigh NC

She is just a little girl
Little enough to hold in my hand when she's crying
    Just a little girl
    She knows Daddy is near

Such a pretty little girl
Pretty enough to break Mommy's heart when she's smiling
    Such a pretty girl
    I don't have no more words
