Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
A father gathers memories of his wife and daughters into a private gallery of childhood, family love and loss. Daisy chains, rainy-day games and their mother's lullabies give way to growing independence and arriving suitors. He hopes they will remain close while promising that distance and adulthood cannot undo their belonging together.

MY GIRLS I'm in Love with My Girls It's a wonderful world Full of beautiful things When an Angel gets her wings The Woman that I married The Children that she carried The two that came to stay And the one that went away I remember everything Nothing gets away The echoes of my memory Are still with me today It's like a photo gallery Somewhere inside my mind A rainbow-colored tapestry From another place and time My Girls, my precious little ones Playing in the rain and having lots of fun Making Daisy chains out in the setting Sun Maybe they can fly, but they sure know how to run Sometimes when they cry, their mother comes on by She sings to them so softly, the sweetest lullaby We’re a long way from anywhere I've ever known before Is it Home or is it Heaven, I just don't know anymore My Girls are getting older now The boys keep comin’ round I keep both eyes open But I don't hang around I guess I'm kind of hopin’ That they might settle down Somewhere right on down the road In our little Country Town Come home, My Girls, come home with me Stay forever Wild and Free This is how it's meant to be We are Islands in the Sea Eternally in motion Like waves Out on the Ocean Everywhere around the world You'll always be My Girls *********
