Babies begin laughing around the age of four months. They have very innocent and sweet laughs. My daughter’s laugh inspired this song. If you didn’t hear it recently, YouTube videos with babies laughing. You can’t help but smile.
I began writing this song when my daughter was four months old. If you are a new parent, the moment of your baby’s first laugh is arguably as memorable as the first word or the first steps. It’s a fascinating milestone. Enjoy the song.
Here are the lyrics:
VERSE 1
Today You’re four months old – just learned to laugh
You and I giggle at your toy giraffe
Your stream of chuckles makes me reminisce
Oh When did I forget to laugh like this?
CHORUS
My laughter was here and didn’t go away
I just got lost trying to find my way
Didn’t notice how life became more gray
But now your smile lights my way
VERSE 2:
Once upon a time I planted roots into this world
But winds shook my branches as life unfurled
Thicker skin left me alone inside
Laughter left my heart – it’s easier to hide
CHORUS 2
My giggles were here and didn’t go away
I just got lost trying to find my way
Didn’t notice how life became more gray
But now your smile will light my way
BRIDGE
I can’t predict who you’ll grow into
Each morning waking to a whole new you
The tumbling cub will soon become a huntress
She’ll find herself, but will she lose her laughter?
VERSE 3
When life turns your laugh to a lioness scowl
Because you’ve faced times when you had to howl
You’ll find your old giraffe and reminisce
And hold it close remembering our laughing bliss
