I'll Walk With My Baby

Music and Lyrics by David

Vocals and Drum Track by David


About the Song:
Here’s another a cappella piece of mine, this one rather doo wop-esque! Again inspired by Todd Rundgren’s A Cappella album as well as by my meeting with The Nylons in the early 1990’s. They were most gracious to me when I met and auditioned for them, especially the gifted late Marc Connors. Many thanks to him, Claude and Arnold for their kindness. For this track, Jimmy was (per usual) at the control/mixing board. I sang the vocals and sequenced the drum track.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I gotta tell ya

I’m so happy today

I know nothing can change that

Nothing can stand in the way



You see I’ve found my reason for living

Like a beautiful pearl

I’m gonna be her boy

And she’ll be my girl



When I walk with my baby, with my baby

You will see she means the world to me

Shows me how our life will be

So carefree



When we walk together

I’m so proud by her side

And all of this love I feel

I never will try to hide



Life still may hold troubles

Oh but I’m not afraid

‘Cause with the strength of my baby

I’ll always have it made



So I’ll walk with my baby, with my baby

It’s her love that gets me through the night

Tells me everything’s alright

She shines bright



She makes me see all things clearly

I do love her so dearly

I will never let her go

Because my soul revolves around her

I could not live without her

I will tell the whole world so

(Tell the world I love her so)



Oh I gotta tell ya

We’re so happy today

Nothing will change our minds

We just know that’s how it will stay



See, we’ve found our reason for living

I’m hers and she’s mine

We’ve joined our hearts and hands

You see, we’re making plans for all time



You will see she means the world to me

Shows me how our life will be

So carefree



I’ll walk with my baby, with my baby

‘Cause it’s her love that gets me through the night

Tells me everything’s alright

She shines bright



(and some final sweet vocal thoughts end the song – dm)
