Name: Calling You My Baby
Duration: P00H03M16S
Description: This is a sweet jazzy soul tune about taking our relationship to the next level, performed on upright bass and Fender Rhodes. This song was inspired by a metaphor my wife used when we first had "the talk" --of putting the relationship up on display on the mantel. The cover art is a reference to a line in the lyrics, "let's find a tree trunk and each carve in an initial."

lyrics

Coming out of the gate
I had a pretty good feeling you'd be worth the wait
And since you and I first kissed
It's been long enough for us both to get the gist
And I'm ready to renew this lease
I'm getting rid of that old Matisse
And I'm putting your picture on the mantelpiece

[chorus]
I'm calling you my baby
I'm calling you
I'm calling you my baby
I'm calling you

[verse 2]
Looking at my watch
I think it's time we kicked this up a notch
Let's lock it up tight
And bring it into the light
Let's stop being so judicial
Let's find a tree trunk and each carve in an initial
Let's make it official

[chorus]
I'm calling you my baby
I'm calling you
I'm calling you my baby
I'm calling you

[keyboard solo]

[chorus]
And I'm calling you my baby
I'm calling you
I'm calling you my baby
I'm calling you

I'm calling you my baby
I'm calling you, you
I'm calling you my baby
I'm calling you
I'm calling you
