Oh, my life is changing everyday In every possible way And oh, my dreams It’s never quite as it seems (Never quite as it seems)
I know I felt like this before But now I’m feeling it even more Because it came from you Then I open up and see The person falling here is me A different way to be C’mon
La ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah, ah La ah ah ah
I want more, impossible to ignore Impossible to ignore (And they’ll come true) And they’ll come true Impossible not to do Impossible not to do
And now I tell you openly You have my heart, so don’t hurt me You’re what I couldn’t find A totally amazing mind So understanding and so kind You’re everything to me Sing it for me! 1, 2, 3, 4
Oh, my life is changing everyday In every possible way (I said, oh, I said oh) And oh, my dreams It’s never quite as it seems ‘Cause you’re a dream to me Dream to me
La, ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah La ah ah ah Sing on!La, ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah La ah ah ah Oh oh oh

Lyrics
I have seen, seen it all in paper dreams Watched it all full on the screen But never understood I have heard, have heard you speak a million words Now you’re talking to me first Never thought you would
Oh, my, my, you just took me by surprise And I can’t believe my eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh no, my, you are too good to be all mine Now I’m looking in your eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind
I was young, my heart was always on the run But you made lovin’ fun I never knew it could be, ey I see you from a different point of view Feel it’s too good to be true I found my missing piece
Oh, my, my, you just took me by surprise And I can’t believe my eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh no, my, you are too good to be all mine Now I’m looking in your eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh, no
Oh, my, my When I look into your eyes It’s a sight I can’t describe Oh, I must be seeing blind
Oh, my, my, you just took me by surprise And I can’t believe my eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh no, my, you are too good to be all mine Now I’m looking in your eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh, I must be seeing blind

Dolly Parton has always been about the welfare of children, and that much is evidenced in the 1993 song “What Will Baby Be”. Maura O’Connell provides the backing vocals on this song. That voice paired with Parton’s lilting vocals and tender guitar-strumming results in a beautifully cohesive piece of work.
Lyrics
A young couple marries, already fighting Along comes baby makin’ them three Trouble’s all he hears from the time he’s in didies Baby don’t know just what to believe
Angry words and spiteful actions Baby’s gonna cut his teeth on these If that’s gonna be the main attraction What will the baby be, what will baby be
Baby needs love and needs direction Baby’s first school is the family For they are only a reflection Of the things they see, what will baby be
What will baby be after baby is grown What will baby do if baby don’t know what’s right or wrong Got to show them love, got to teach them truth ‘Cause what baby is when baby grows up Well, that depends entirely on me and you Depends entirely on me and you
Baby thinks God is just a curse word Never said a prayer ’cause he’s never been taught They remember and repeat what they’ve heard So I ask who’s really at fault
So many questions, so few answers So many lessons we don’t teach Stumbling through like clumsy dancers What will baby be, what will baby be
What will baby be after baby is grown What will baby do when baby is out there on his own Teach the children how to be all they should be ‘Cause what baby is when baby grows up Depends entirely on you and me Depends entirely on you and me What will baby be
Oh, my life is changing everyday In every possible way And oh, my dreams It’s never quite as it seems (Never quite as it seems)

LYRICS
Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
You’re tethered to another and you’re worried all the time
You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme
She’s fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn’t look like me
She made me love the morning, she’s a holiday at sea
The New York streets are busy as they always used to be
But I am the mother of Evangeline
The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep
She filled my life with color, canceled plans, and trashed my car
But none of that was ever who we are
Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
I’ll hold you while you’re sleeping and I wish that I could go
All my rowdy friends are out accomplishing their dreams
But I am the mother of Evangeline
And they’ve still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time
And they still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and the wine
Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time
From inside of the ages through your eyes
You are not an accident where no one thought it through
The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you
And when we chose your name we knew that you’d fight the power too
You’re nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
Oh, I’ll never hit the big time without you
So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
‘Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
