- Grant Lee Phillips

Violet oh Violet, such a darlin' child
Nothing makes me happier
Than to simply look into your eyes
And see you smile

Violet oh Violet, little darlin' one
Wonder what you're dreaming of
Wonder what it is the book of life
Has just begun



I can't find an audio or video link for this song, unfortunately, but you can hear it on Spotify. It's a very sweet, gentle song, and I like that he never identifies his relationship to the child, which leaves it wide open for interpretation. :)
