Beautiful Baby

It was late in the early spring, when we picked out the rings We said 'I do' and took off on our honeymoon The seashore sure was nice, we made love day and night We were so much in love, we never got out of the room Then spring time turned to fall and I was proud and walkin' tall She was happy but mad 'cause she couldn't fit into her dress I spent all of my afternoons fixin' up our extra room For a boy named Bill or a little girl named Tess And it was late on a winter night, we were sittin' by the fiery light And she said to me, "Hun, I think it's time to go" Oh, I was a nervous wreck, I almost broke my neck Tryin' to back up the car and hurry through the snow But I got her there just in time and they dressed us both in white And I held her hand while they wheeled her into the room And there right before my eyes the miracle of life Came cryin' at me and I'd never felt so good Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me I never knew that my life was so empty and so incomplete Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me She looks like her mama but she's smilin' just like me Ooh, what a wonderful woman I'm lovin' I'm holding her tender and she's given me everythin' Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me She looks like her mama but she's smilin' just like me Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me I never knew that my life was so empty and so incomplete Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
