Fernley Baby

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Little boots by the doorway, blanket on the chair Milk-sweet grin and a tumble of soft brown hair Fernley morning on the window, sagebrush turning gold You arrived and made our ordinary beautiful to hold [Pre-Chorus] Every little reaching hand Turns this house into a promised land [Chorus] Fernley baby, grow easy, grow bright You’re our best hello in the morning light From the wide Nevada sky to the hearts gathered near Fernley baby, you’re our favorite year [Verse 2] Grandma’s got a story, Grandpa’s got a song Your tiny laugh can pull the whole family along Blanket on the porch swing, toes above the floor Every day with you gives us something more [Pre-Chorus] When you look up, we understand Love can fit inside one little hand [Chorus] Fernley baby, grow easy, grow bright You’re our best hello in the morning light From the wide Nevada sky to the hearts gathered near Fernley baby, you’re our favorite year [Bridge] Someday you’ll chase the sunset down a dusty road We’ll be right behind you, wherever you go But tonight you’re curled up, safe and warm and small Our Fernley baby, our sweetest one of all [Final Chorus] Fernley baby, grow easy, grow bright You’re our best hello in the morning light From the wide Nevada sky to the hearts gathered near Fernley baby, we’ll love you year after year [Outro] Sleep now, little one, the morning will come Fernley baby, you’re our song unsung
