My Little Elephant Baby

This song is dedicated to our little baby Elephant who has turned 12 years old today :)
(Verse 1)
When you were born, it was a magical night,
A tiny little spark, shining oh so bright.
The nurses smiled, and we held you tight,
A light in our lives, everything felt right.
But at work the next day, I made a big slip,
Told my colleagues you weighed 4,000 kgs on the trip!
For weeks they teased, with laughter so loud,
“My 4-ton baby, making her family proud!”
But through it all, you smiled so wide,
Our little elephant baby, with joy in your stride.
(Chorus)
You’re my little elephant baby, so strong and so sweet,
Bringing joy every day, from your head to your feet.
With a pencil in hand, and a heart full of dreams,
Drawing the world with colors and schemes.
You don't love math, but you solve puzzles with flair,
Combining the world like it’s all in the air.
You're growing up fast, but always stay true,
My little elephant baby, I believe in you.
(Verse 2)
From the very first day, you lit up the room,
With that beaming smile that chased away gloom.
No matter the challenge, you never looked down,
You lifted our spirits, never a frown.
And oh how you love to eat-what a sight!
Picking rice as a baby, you got that right.
From bowls of noodles to snacks galore,
You always find joy in the simplest of more.
With paper and pencils, your artwork takes flight,
Sketching and dreaming from morning to night.
(Chorus)
You’re my little elephant baby, so strong and so sweet,
Bringing joy every day, from your head to your feet.
With a pencil in hand, and a heart full of dreams,
Drawing the world with colors and schemes.
You don't love math, but you solve puzzles with flair,
Combining the world like it’s all in the air.
You're growing up fast, but always stay true,
My little elephant baby, I believe in you.
(Verse 3)
Numbers and formulas don’t always make sense,
But combinatorics? You make it look immense!
You see patterns and answers, where others might fail,
Navigating puzzles like you’re setting sail.
And now you’re growing, with concerts to attend,
Our little elephant baby, becoming a friend.
Your laughter fills rooms, your spirit so bright,
Your love for life makes everything right.
Through music, through art, you’ll continue to grow,
The world’s yours to conquer, just so you know.
(Chorus)
You’re my little elephant baby, so strong and so sweet,
Bringing joy every day, from your head to your feet.
With a pencil in hand, and a heart full of dreams,
Drawing the world with colors and schemes.
You don't love math, but you solve puzzles with flair,
Combining the world like it’s all in the air.
You're growing up fast, but always stay true,
My little elephant baby, I believe in you.
(Verse 4)
Here’s to the future, with health and with grace,
To chasing your dreams at your very own pace.
May you find joy in the things that you love,
Be it music, or art, or the skies up above.
May you solve life’s riddles with that clever mind,
And in everything you do, may you always be kind.
Though you’re growing up fast, you’ll always be
Our big little baby, the world for you to see.
From the day you were born, 'til this moment right here,
You’ve been our blessing, year after year.
(Chorus)
You’re my little elephant baby, so strong and so sweet,
Bringing joy every day, from your head to your feet.
With a pencil in hand, and a heart full of dreams,
Drawing the world with colors and schemes.
You don't love math, but you solve puzzles with flair,
Combining the world like it’s all in the air.
You're growing up fast, but always stay true,
My little elephant baby, I believe in you.
Bridge:
Through every challenge, every high and low,
You’ve shown us strength that continues to grow.
With laughter so loud, and heart so pure,
You’re a beacon of love, that’s for sure.
Keep chasing your dreams, with no looking back,
And one day you’ll conquer the things you lack.
Math, music, or art-you’ve got what it takes,
To build your own world and erase all mistakes.
Outro:
So here’s to you, my little one,
Our journey together has only begun.
From the first breath you took, to the dreams yet to chase,
We’ll be by your side, at every pace.
Elephant baby, you’ve grown so tall,
But in our hearts, you’ll always be small.
With all of the love we’ve got to give,
We wish you a life that’s bright and full to live.
