It's circled on my calender in red.
Pink and blue run through my head -
My baby!
When is your due date? My friends all question,
We look towards the calender's direction
Filled with happy anticipation -
My baby!
The due date is soon, the nursery is ready,
Months fly by and days pass steady.
The longing for my child is heavy -
My baby!
The due date is here! My heart is soaring!
Over hubby's steady snoring
I bound from bed, ready for knowing
My baby!
It's the due date, but night is falling!
The phone's been ringing, my friends are calling...
I'm more than ready, but junior's stalling -
My baby!
The due date's past, the days are long.
The baby is heavy, all hope seems gone.
When suddenly a cramp comes on strong -
My baby!
Oh, what's in a due date? My infant in my arms,
Safe and healthy, all full of charms.
No more worries, no more false alarms...
My baby!
