The Deck Song, Friends and Babies

So my friends who inspired this blog are expecting. To celebrate the occasion, I finished The Deck Song, an Adam and Peggy collaboration*. For years the song ended at "The days grew short".

The Deck Song**

Do you remember
The days we spent
Laughing in the sun

We were happy
We were gorgeous
And the days they
Seemed to last so very long

But autumn came
The days grew short
A house got sold and
Our friends moved out

The sun came back
but it wasn't okay
Till they brought their girl
Over for the day

And we will remember
The day we spent
Laughing in the sun

Because she's so happy
She's so gorgeous
And her days they have
Really just begun

Then more happy news
A new heart beats
Soon a baby boy* will
Grace this street

And we will remember
The days we spent
Laughing in the sun

Because they are happy
They are gorgeous
And these days are going to
Last so very long

The days may grow short
The winds may grow cold
But your family and friends
Will be your home

And you will remember
The days we spent
Laughing in the sun

We are happy
We are gorgeous
And these days they
Seemed to last so very long

*Adam and I are not songwriters.

** I am never singing this song. Ever. See *.

*** I'm going with an early prediction. I'm not entirely sure babies have a gender at this point.
