about

This is a saying that my two boys & I have been saying to each other since they were able to talk.
One of us will ask the other “Hey, Guess What?”
To which the other will reply: “What?”
“I love you!”
“I love you too.”
And so this song emerged out of that, my love for Luke and Jake, and my hope that I will be with them for many years to come.

lyrics

With every trace I leave behind
I ease my worried mind
Don’t you know someday
We’ve got to go our own way

And if I leave you much too soon
May you find this little tune
Remind you of the days
And all the little ways – that I love you

The first time I held you
I whispered in your ear
“Don’t you know you’re doin fine,
Little baby stop your cryin”

Everyday is brand new
And so much yet to do
Find a little time each day
That’s all it takes to say Hey, guess what? I love you

Now I don’t know why In the middle of the night I worry I won’t be there for you,
And I pray til daylight That I make it alright Just to see you smile every morning

Little ones I once held
Much too big for that now
Barely time to crawl
Now they’re running down the hall

Climb every tree in the yard
Take a ride in Daddy’s car
Summer days and winter nights
It all feels so right
Hey Guess what? I Love You

Hey Guess what?
Hey Guess What?
Hey Guess What?
I Love You

about

Brett Allen Gregory Livermore, California

I've always been compelled to write.

Early on it was journaling and poetry, but then that merged with my guitar addiction to become songwriting.

The process was always a bit manic, pressured, as if a large gorilla had stepped into my room, grabbed me by the lapels and said, "I will not let you sleep until you write this idea down." And so for years the gorilla and I danced madly thru the night.
