(Intro)
Gentle piano arpeggios, a soft breath of strings — hush and hold.
(Verse 1)
My niece, my first baby girl, small as the moon's first fold,
A tiny yawn at morning, a quiet dimple when you smile.
The hour you arrived — an after-midnight hush, a new world told,
Little fists that curl like sunrise staying with me for a while.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every whisper of your fingers maps the shape of what I'll be,
A softer kind of bravery, a small fierce love I keep.
(Chorus)
You're my sunrise in a tiny fist, my first baby girl, you make my life complete,
A hush of stars within your breath, a steady drum beneath my heartbeat.
You're my sunrise in a tiny fist, the whole wide world fits on your seat,
My first baby girl, my niece, with every laugh and every step — my heart repeats.
(Verse 2)
Tiny socks and sleepy hums, the scent of lavender and milk,
Your quiet hiccup in the midnight, a crescent moon of sleep.
You trace my name with soft new eyes, the future's silk and silk,
First coos like paper boats afloat where calmer waters keep.
(Pre-Chorus)
I count the tiny wonders — your first smile, your little sigh,
These small, bright moments patch the dark and teach my days to fly.
(Chorus — Variation)
You're my sunrise in a tiny fist, my first baby girl, you make my life complete,
Tonight you curl your fingers 'round my thumb, I watch your dreams repeat.
You're my sunrise in a tiny fist — your first laugh rings like warm sheet music sweet,
My first baby girl, my niece, with every small new word my heart's retreat.
(Bridge — A Promise)
I promise tiny shelter: hands that steady, arms that learn to hold,
To be the quiet lighthouse when the sky turns dim and cold.
We'll paint the years in gentle strokes, teach you how to stand and run,
I'll learn the map of all your laughter, trace the constellations of the sun.
(Chorus — Final, Growth)
You're my sunrise in a tiny fist, my first baby girl, you make my life complete,
One day you'll chase the wind, small feet will find their steady beat.
You're my sunrise in a tiny fist — I'll watch you bloom, then send you on your street,
My first baby girl, my niece, forever in my heart — soft, brave, and sweet.
(Outro)
Soft fingerpicked guitar, a last warm swell of strings, breath held and released.
Forever in my heart you'll stay — my first baby girl, my life is blessed and eased.
