lyrics

Baby Sophie is a sweet wee thing
whatever she does, what her life may bring
If the world threatens her if that might occur
I will fight back and I won’t be slack
I’ll pull on my shoes and I’ll sing the blues
Hard feelings will fade for a peaceful decade
with the world open wide to the sunshine we'll ride
say hello to new friends and goodbye to the past
whatever it takes this our peace we’ll make last

Sophie, Sophie, when you’re glowing with glee, and you’re
smiling at me, so happy, happy, happy
I wanna be always there for yee
and I wanna do what it takes to take care of you

Sophie, Sophie / you’re just my cup of tea
like a most favourite toy / you bring me so much joy, oh joy
Sometimes you cry / but your tears soon dry
when you watch your mummy / try’n to be funny

Sophie, Sophie, you’re my little baby
soon you’ll be a small child, then a teenie, go wild, oh wild
After all that when your mum’s old and fat
you’ll go and take over my four leaved clover

Sophie, Sophie soon you’ll be leavin me
you’ll go off to college gaining some knowledge, oh
I don’t know why life is full of good bye, but
kids have to grow up and upper and upper

Sophie, Sophie you’re still glowing with glee
and you’re smiling at me so happy, happy, happy
I’m gonna be always there for yee
and I’m gonna do what it takes to take care of, takes to take care of you.

about

Vroni Scotland, UK

My songs were recorded when we performed as TincaT with some amazing Scottish and Bavarian musicians and performances in Edinburgh and Rosenheim. On a piano tour Bobo and me also played the Cavendish Club in Liverpool one night. Just like the Beatles.
