Eddie and Me

Story Behind The Song

What was I thinking? I offered to take Eddie on a road trip while his mom went off to a Caribbean island to get married. Eddie is a hand-full and one I wouldn't trade for anything. The result of the trip? We got to know each other a little better (for better or worse) and this song emerged. Love you, Eddie!

Lyrics

Eddie and Me

V1: Here's a little tale about a female and a male
Who share a bond of blood and loyalty
A little boy with a really big heart
A big girl who plays a big part
In his life which she takes seriously
Of course I'm referring to the bond that I'm sharing
With the one wearing my DNA

Cho: Eddie and me, Eddie and me
Obviously it's Eddie and me, what more can I say
Who else could it be but Eddie and me
It's got to be Eddie and me all the way

V2: From the moment he arrived he let you know he was alive
With a voice as big and loud as you've ever heard
Sometimes a spirit that strong can make it tough to get along
You got to fight real hard to get in the last word
Somehow we manage to use it to our advantage
We don't hold back - we sing out loud and clear

Cho:

V3: No matter how much time goes by
Since we last saw eye-to-eye
The bond stays strong and maybe even grows
Every time I see his face he totally invades my space
And wraps around me tight from head to toes
There's no one else like him and I think he'd say the same about me
We're part of each others' hearts and family tree

Cho:
