in The Porch
My wife and I are having our 1st baby, a girl, in December. I'm looking to write a lyric on or two on the wall next to her crib. I've got a few ideas in mind. U guys have any suggestions?

    Light Years comes to mind...

    Around the Bend seems fitting.

    Congratulations! Hope you'll post a photo once the wall is done.

    I also thought of around the bend.

    How about "there's a light when my baby's in my arms"? Any lyric from Thin Air would do, Stone wrote it for his daughter :) But Around the bend is also very appropriate

    Ha! Well-done.

    I like the idea of painting a tree on the wall - maybe encompassing more than one wall - with some lyrics from the song ("trading stories with the leaves" etc.) and adding words or thoughts to the branches over time, by both parents and child.

    Would be a sweet timeline and reflection of growth (again, by both parents and child).
