about

Wrote this song for my son, Kieran shortly after he was born. When I recorded it, I was lucky enough to get him to sing along with me when he was 3 years old. Still gives me a thrill to hear it. It's a mish-mash of criss- crossing major and minor scales and of course has that snake charmer flavor with the recorder and synth floating above it all. Violin plays a major scale against the minors played by the other instruments. Regular flute takes the solo that jumps into a new key after the bridge. Repeat of the bridge brings us back to the home key.

lyrics

Precious Little One
(for Kieran)

by John Beccia

The wonder of one very young
A new life, a world just begun
You’re such a precious little one
You shine with a love burning bright
Reflect like a moon full and white
You’re such a precious little one
You‘re such a precious little one


Each moment that’s shared means so much
Depending upon every touch
You’re such a precious little one
Our childhood forgotten reappears
As we share the growing thru the years
You’re such a precious little one
You‘re such a precious little one
You ‘re such a precious little one


A new life links my heart to yours
A chain of love that still endures
You’re such a precious little one
This love circle’s endless like a ring
In spite of what future changes bring
You’re such a precious little one
You‘re such a precious little one
You’re such a precious little one
little one................little one
