❝ sweet baby jesus you ask a lot of questions. well, i guess my favorite memory is when she was helping me cook in the kitchen. she was the cutest little girl with her big green eyes and millions of freckles. anyway, she looked up to me with those big green eyes and said mama? i said yes my darling. she said i love you more than a dog loves a new bone. and hugged me real tight around the waist. thought i was gonna cry. as for making her smile on her bad days, that's hard. if you know joey you know she's a tough little cookie that will not believe a good word anyone says. so, you gotta go dramatic. real dramatic, i'm talkin' big expensive dinners with lavish things. she's a poor girl but at heart she loves to be spoiled rotten. just like her mama. for the song, hm, that's hard. when she was a girl, she loved all my ella fitzgerald records. would dance the whole afternoon to them. slow dance with her dad sometimes, too. try something by her. ❞
