Slip of a girl

Left alone with Tilly I have to be brave. I am a mum. I'm respsonsible. She needs me.
I feel fabulous half the time, amazed that I have grown and continue to care for this small creature that is helpless without me. But there are times when I just don't know what to do, she is clean, she's fed and she cries. I spend ages pacing around getting her to sleep. We've been using music to help soothe her. Today, I've been playing her Duke Special. There is one song 'A slip of a girl' that I played and it just made me cry. The lyrics are not about a baby but to me they sum up my relationship with Tilly. I stood in the back room walking around singing to her with tears rolling down my face as the song, to me at least has captured how I feel. I played it to her several times, each time she has fallen asleep.

This slip of a girl has slipped right through
And now I don’t know what to do
I know most anyone would walk away
But there’s something about
This slip of a girl that’s making me stay

You know that
I’d do anything for you now
I’d do anything for you
Just to see you look at me now baby
Just a slip of a girl

This slip of a girl has slipped right through

You know that
I’d do anything for you now
I’d do anything for you
Just to see you look at me now baby
Just a slip of a girl
