01 / The little things. The everything.
It's so easy to love you.
And baby gal, I have a few very specific reasons.
01Those giggles.
The sound I wish I could bottle up and keep for every day I miss you. Making you laugh is one of my favorite things.
02Your gentle heart.
Your sweetness. Your softness. The tenderness you bring into my life. I hope you feel just as loved as you make me feel.
03My girly girl.
I love that side of you. The dresses, the prettiness, the joy of being entirely yourself. You make it all look so effortless.
That smile. That girl.
If you could see what I see
I’d still be looking at you.
Every little detail. ♡
And yes, baby gal. That chin is on the list too. You thought I'd leave it out? 😂 ♡
02 / If I were beside you
A little closer, in words.
Baby gal,
If I could choose where to be today, it would be beside you. Close enough to hear your giggle without a speaker between us. Close enough to kiss you before I even said happy birthday.
I love the sweetness in you. The way you're gentle. Your softness. That lovely, girly part of you that I hope you never feel you have to hide.
I love the little things that make you so completely you. The giggle I try to get one more time. The smile I keep thinking about long after we've said goodnight.
I wish I could see your face as you hear this. I'd probably forget half of what I meant to say and just pull you closer.
But here's what I want you to hear: You are loved in the details. In the things I notice. In the things I miss. In the ordinary moments when I wish you were here.
And now, forty. I wish I could gather everyone who loves you and all the good you've given, and let you see yourself through our eyes. I hope this next chapter brings you more joy than you know what to do with. And I hope I get to be beside you for so much of it.
Today, I hope you feel beautiful. I hope you laugh until you can't finish your sentence. I hope you feel cared for, celebrated, and loved as the woman you are.
Happy 40th birthday, Sarabeth. My sweet girl. My baby gal. I'm sending you all the love I wish I could give you in person.
I love you, baby gal.
03 / Two songs. One beautiful woman.
You leave me breathless.
A little sunset romance. A little birthday dancing. All for you, baby gal.

Intro
Mmm, yeah Sarabeth... this one's for you
Verse 1
I wish this room had a door to you I'd walk right through with nothing to prove Just flowers in my hand, your name on my lips And all the days I've been saving a kiss You giggle, and I forget the miles Stay a little longer just to see you smile Green eyes shining like the island sea Sarabeth, you got a hold on me
Chorus
Baby gal, come a little closer (closer) That's where I wanna be Your hand resting in my hand Your laughter next to me You're beautiful in the sunlight Beautiful when the day is through If my love could cross this ocean You'd feel my arms around you
Verse 2
Red-gold curls falling over your face Porcelain skin and that easy grace That dress on your curves and the look in your eyes You catch me staring, baby, I can't lie So soft, so girly, so sweet the way you are Soft as the trade winds, baby, that's what you are Forty candles and a wish I make for you May every dream you're holding come true
Chorus
Baby gal, come a little closer (closer) That's where I wanna be Your hand resting in my hand Your laughter next to me You're beautiful in the sunlight Beautiful when the day is through If my love could cross this ocean You'd feel my arms around you
Bridge
Leave a little room beside you Let me dream that I'm right there You can giggle at me staring I'll just blame it on your hair But the truth is, sweet Sarabeth It's every part of you And the longer that I know you The more I know it's true
Final Chorus
Baby gal, come a little closer (closer) That's where I wanna stay Forty years of you being you And I get to love you today You're beautiful in the sunlight Beautiful when the day is through Till I get to cross this ocean Let this song hold on to you
Outro
Happy birthday, baby gal (Come a little closer) Let this song hold on to you Mmm, Sarabeth
Intro
Oh, Sarabeth This one na for you Baby gal, baby gal Forty looks good on you
Verse 1
You walk in, I forget my line Green eyes shining, you blow my mind Red-gold curls and that porcelain skin Come closer, baby, let me in Soft little laugh, that sweet little giggle One small turn and I'm caught in the middle Girly and gentle, so easy to love Girl, you do it again, I can't get enough
Pre-Chorus
I no fit pretend, you know See the way you dey glow Even from a thousand miles You still get me with that smile
Chorus
Baby gal, take it easy (easy, easy) See the way you make me feel Those curves got me forgetting How to stand here and keep still Baby gal, take it easy (easy, easy) Give your man a chance to breathe (breathe) Forty looks so good on you Come and do one turn for me
Verse 2
Omo, fine from your head reach your feet Then you speak, and you're twice as sweet Soft like silk with a playful side That's my girl, and I say it with pride I send you dresses, you send me a picture Now I'm here just wishing I was with you No special reason, no place to be Put one on, baby, just for me
Pre-Chorus
I no fit pretend, you know See the way you dey glow Even from a thousand miles You still get me with that smile
Chorus
Baby gal, take it easy (easy, easy) See the way you make me feel Those curves got me forgetting How to stand here and keep still Baby gal, take it easy (easy, easy) Give your man a chance to breathe (breathe) Forty looks so good on you Come and do one turn for me
Bridge
If I was there, I'd pull you close Look in those green eyes I love the most You deserve soft days and a love that stays A little more joy in a hundred ways Sarabeth, tonight is yours Let that giggle fill the floor Forty looks so fine, my queen Baby gal, you know what you mean to me
Final Chorus
Baby gal, take it easy (easy, easy) See the way you make me feel Those curves got me forgetting How to stand here and keep still Baby gal, take it easy (easy, easy) Give your man a chance to breathe (breathe) Forty looks so good on you Come and do one turn for me
