Via YouTube, Dtube was not working for some - Steemit Open Mic Songwriters Challenge Week 7 - "Hey Danielle" - Original Song

I am not a musician But I went out on a limb and posted this video I recorded tonight - it has me singing in it! which is a very scary thing! If you cannot stand off tune, out of key, non-rhythmic amateur singing, DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO - or do it with the volume muted.

This song titled "Hey Danielle" is an original piece written by me for my daughter. I wanted to create something that she could carry with her forever. This is also the first time I have ever written a complete song. Also the first time I have ever posted myself attempting to sing...

Here are the lyrics:

Hey Danielle, How you doing
You sure are looking lovely, but you always do
I see you playing, over on that swing set
Swinging so high, you're reaching for the sky
One of these day, and it wont be long
You'll be over yonder, writing your own song
So I just wanted to tell you, that no matter where you go
No matter who you decide to be, your mother and I will always love you

Hey Danielle, How you doing
You sure are looking lovely, but you always do
Growing up in this world, sure can be hard to do
That is why I vow, never to leave you
There will be times, where I seem out of reach
But just remember that, I will always be a part of you
When the world seem cruel, and all you can do is cry
Just call on me, and I will be your alibi

If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, just lean on me and I will stay strong
If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, just lean on me and I will stay strong
If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, just lean on me and I will stay strong
If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, just lean on me and I will stay strong - Yes I will be strong

Hey Danielle, How you doing
You sure are looking lovely, but you always do
I see you playing, over on that swing set
Swinging so high, you're reaching for the sky
One of these day, and it wont be long
You'll be over yonder, writing your own song
So I just wanted to tell you, that no matter where you go
No matter who you decide to be, your mother and I will always love you

Thanks for the listen!
