Cover art for One Day Like This lyrics by Elbow

I see this in the concept of love for my children. Both my son and daughter are born with this song in the background (CD was alowed in the delivery room :) ) They're 3,5 and 2 now, and still when I here this song, I cry of happiness. I'm soft when it comes to this subject and the violins don't make it easier. "I can only think it must be love": I thought I knew what love was, until my children were born.That was a whole new level of love. "Cause holy cow, I love your eyes": my daughter has the bluest eyes. "Lying with me half awake": at night when they woke up and had to be soothed, I was half awake, so were they. "Throw those curtains wide!" Because their life begun, and so did mine.
