So Lovely Lyrics

You know I did something right. Something that keeps me alive. Oh, you sweet little babies. When you came you let me know. I was finally happy. You knew me before, now, didn't you.
God, you're so lovely. Did you come here to help me.
And I know you can't sleep well unless I'm right there next to you. Oh, you take care of mommy too. You're so quick to defend me, aren't you. God, you're so lovely. Yes, you are. You came here to save me, didn't you. You came here to teach me. And I'm gonna try to teach you.
Know you're everything to me. Know you have to learn and try. Please don't fear to lose me. You know I have those same fears too. God, you're so lovely, yeah, you are. You came here to save me, didn't you. You came here to teach me. Ooh, and I'm gonna try to teach you. Little man and a lady. So handsome and pretty. Sometimes don't listen to your mamma, no. And don't do as I do.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Lisa wrote this song about her children. It's the most beautiful song on her "To Whom It May Concern" CD. You can tell just how she feels about her children not only because of the lyrics, but because of the gentle yet compelling music.

This is every mother's song I am singing it to my children and I don't even have them yet
