Count the Kicks

1 2 3 4 5 6 Oh how exciting! My how you kick! 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 This one will be in the starting 11! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 That's it angel, rest now you're tired. 1 2 3 You're not being very active today 1 2 Is everything okay with you? 1 Was that a kick? Or was it a grumble. I must call the midwife, make sure there's no trouble. 32 weeks, still so tiny, so small. Nothing is as beautiful, nothing at all. Counting the kicks, knowing your pattern, Made me get help when it mattered. Who knew Something so precious, Could be so strong? And Knew how to tell me something was wrong. Now you can sleep, Dream of calves, lambs and chicks, We owe everything to Counting the kicks.
