It was late in the early spring, when we picked out the rings
We said 'I do' and took off on our honeymoon
The seashore sure was nice, we made love day and night
We were so much in love, we never got out of the room

Then spring time turned to fall and I was proud and walkin' tall
She was happy but mad 'cause she couldn't fit into her dress
I spent all of my afternoons fixin' up our extra room
For a boy named Bill or a little girl named Tess

And it was late on a winter night, we were sittin' by the fiery light
And she said to me, "Hun, I think it's time to go"
Oh, I was a nervous wreck, I almost broke my neck
Tryin' to back up the car and hurry through the snow

But I got her there just in time and they dressed us both in white
And I held her hand while they wheeled her into the room
And there right before my eyes the miracle of life
Came cryin' at me and I'd never felt so good

Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
I never knew that my life was so empty and so incomplete
Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
She looks like her mama but she's smilin' just like me

Ooh, what a wonderful woman I'm lovin'
I'm holding her tender and she's given me everythin'
Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
She looks like her mama but she's smilin' just like me
Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
I never knew that my life was so empty and so incomplete
Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
