Sweet Abby Girl

She's taking up most of the mattress

Can't imagine being so un-self conscious

She's pushing her back up against my legs

I wake up because she is dreaming

Or because it is six in the morning and

She's standing up breathing into my face

Sweet Abby girl

I should've wrote this while you were still here

Sweet Abby girl

Even though I only had you a year and a half

You made me laugh

Now it's making me cry

Thanks for coming in my world

Sweet Abby girl

There's sleep in the pink of her eyelids

Absentminded, I reach to tend to it

Historically, that kind of thing put me off

With her it just felt like a privilege

And if I ever did have my moments

She paid no mind to the time we lost

Sweet Abby girl

I should've wrote this while you were still here

Sweet Abby girl

Even though I only had you a year and a half

You made me laugh

Now it's making me cry

Thanks for coming in my world
