about

I wrote this song in 2009 for my wonderful husband. Life's hard knocks and a few bad decisions had brought him down and I wanted to show him my love, devotion and admiration. I love this particular track because we recorded it in one perfect take with no layering whatsoever. Singing this song live has been humbling and revealing, who knew so many people needed this song? Apparently, men want to hear they are pretty just as much as women want to say it!

lyrics

COS HE’S PRETTY
I like him cos he’s pretty
Walking here beside me
Like him more with every breath I breathe
Lord, have mercy!

I like him cos he’s pretty
Looking back at me now
His eyes full over with love
Glory almighty!

I like him cos he’s pretty
Think I’d like to have his babies
Growing inside of me
Sweet Jesus save me!

But that’s the way it is, crazy as it seems
And I got what I wanted, and I have what I need.

Yeah I like him cos he’s pretty
Holding on to me now
Like I’m Gods own gold.
Lord, lord, lord!

I like him cos he’s pretty
Walking life beside me now
Love him more with every breath I breathe
Lord have mercy!

But that’s the way it is, crazy and it seems
I got what I wanted, and I have what I need.
