The meaning of this song is so obvious...except it isn't. When Norman Blake wrote it, he said it was about his then-wife. But these days when he plays it in concerts he says it's about his daughter, who was born around the time of the song. So apparently all of us were wrong then--or Norman's wisely decided to honor someone who's still in his life.
