Pony - Jerry Joseph

my daughter chae was still very young… not yet four… i wanted to write her a

song… and this was a pretty heavy part of my life… i was trying to write

something sweet and beautiful… a task that, to this day, i find difficult… the

tapers always refer to it as under two minutes… for this record, i titled it

pony

I hate to see you stand there

Crying like a baby

It wasn’t your intention

Taking this time out

I’d really love to lay you down

Somewhere where it’s shady

I could tell you stories

Take that thumb out of your mouth

I wish I could keep you as an angel

I wish I could keep you as a child

I wish I could stay with you forever

Baby, I could be your pony and

Together we would ride

There’s a woman on the corner

Selling little birds in cages

For a dollar we could buy one

Set it loose into the sky

We could be like pirates

Sailing off to China

We could be like cowboys and

On the range we’d ride

I wish I could keep you as an angel

I wish I could keep you as a child

I wish I could stay with you forever

Baby, I could be your pony and

Together we would ride
