Seems Like Yesterday

My Daughter; Deja Denise Ray Van Dusen was born July 13th 2007, It was a Friday. I knew her name was going to be Deja before her mother and I knew she was going to be a girl.

I remember running around like a head with its chicken cut off.
To much coffee, not enough of the sandmans dreams
I don't remember what time she was born,
but I got on the horn to everyone I knew
I remember the deafening lights and the drowning noise

Cigars all around

I remember the nurse squeaking out "She's so precious."
I felt my heart explode with joy,
good thing the hospital was so near
I mighta had a heart attack
I remember the realization that jumped into my mind
Holy s**t I'm a father

I remember the smile on her mommies face
And my Mom was about to fall over
I whispered baja baja baja into her ear
Those where the first words out of my mouth
Fitting with her name

I remember feeling Deja Vu
but this hasn't happened before
Pretty sure I would know
Kept forgetting everything
Didn't want to miss anything

Never did catch up with that bloody chicken
Never got my body back
Still feel like a head floating around in inner space
Outer Space must have the chicken
Still can't believe I'm a father

 I remember the day she wrapped me around her little finger, it's as fresh as yesterday

Before I know it she's gonna be goin of to college and gettin married
And I'll still remember the first time I held her

Amazing, how time flies and it's only been four years. Heh Heh, Seems like yesterday.
