Two days ago, my daughter Niamh (it's a Gaelic name, pronounced Neev) left on a long trip that will take her to several countries in Europe. I wrote her this song, which I hope is both specific (it's for her, after all) and universal in that I'm sure many parents know the feelings that inspired it. Here's the SoundCloud link https://soundcloud.com/themysteriousbeings/niamh-draft/s-ajDSwTuaYf4NIAMH THE BRAVE & BEAUTIFUL (Words & Music by Gavin Sinclair) Often I can't find the words to say what's in my heart I guess I just assume that you must know And only in a moment when it's time for us to part Do I find a way to let my feelings show And so we’ve come to today Tomorrow you'll be far away Time to let my heart speak and come right out and say I love you And you make me so proud You're Niamh the Brave and Beautiful A cup of life for you to fill So much that's new to feel It's time for you to go I smile as I kiss you But I already miss you And I hope that this you Already know I guess I'm scared that the words will come out wrong If I just look at you and speak 'em So I pour them from my heart into a song When they don't seem right I can tweak 'em They're feeble and they're few But I guess they'll have to do Across the ocean I'm sending them to you I love you And you make me so proud You're Niamh the Brave and Beautiful A cup of life for you to fill So much that's new to feel And see, and be So much to tell me when I have you back again From over the sea Time to let my heart speak and say the words out loud I love you And you make me so proud

"The standard by which I now measure the things in my life is the following: If I was on my death bed, or if I knew I had a short time to live, would this issue be important? If the answer is no.. I don't sweat it at all. If the answer is Yes, you better believe it goes to the front of the order of today's business!" -Brian Austin Whitney
