Lucy's POV.Since it's still early in the morning.I had just bathed Jemmy and after feeding her breakfast, I decided to sing to her while playing with her so I chose, you mean the whole wide world to me by Christina Perri.Darling, you mean the whole wide world to me
Darling, you are sweeter than I ever dream of
Darling, you make me believe in make-believe
Darling, you mean the whole wide world to me
What do I do with all this love for you?
It's so much bigger than I ever knewBaby girl, it's bigger than the whole wide world.....
I noticed that as I continued singing, Jemmy started Smiling.For a moment I thought she understood what I was singing but well that's Impossible but I guess she could feel the love and emotion in the song.
I then started poking at her cheeks and she laughed more.
