Mum was really happy,-
dad was really happy too,-
they just got their first own home,
and Baby then came you.
Everything looked tranquil,
through your sweet eyes.
Mum will keep you warm and safe,
and never tell you no lies.


Started crawling early,-
soon you stood on your feet.
They say you were a happy girl,
got everything you’d ever need.
But in your dreams,
in the depth of the night,
you remember daddy’s tears
The time that mummy died.

Mum was really happy,-
dad was really happy too,-
they just got their first own home,
and Baby then came you.
Everything looked tranquil,
through your sweet eyes.
Mum will keep you warm and safe,
and never tell you no lies.

Intro to the musical "Just A Girl" - A teenage girl with a rough life, poor, unemployed, is laying in bed, remembering her childhood, and the time when her mother died.

It is a very strong song, and I have not seen anyone who was not deeply touched when hearing it. Probably the fact that Jay René missed her mom when she was pretty young, and that my daughters stepmother (my first sweetheart and mother to my "first" daughter ) committed suicide when Britte was still very young has contributed to making the writing of this song something very special for Jay, Britt as well as me.

In this way all three artists - Jay, Britt, and me included had very personal experiences and really worked on our emotions while creating the lyrics as well as the music.


Lyrics by J. Rennee, Britt Lehmann, and Christof Lehmann
Composition by Christof Lehmann, Britt Lehmann, and Jay Renè

Written for Musical, Ballad..Melody comes with the lyrics, not to be changed. Originally written for the musical JUST A GIRL

Thank you very much. Yes it´s a sad song.
I am happyyou like it. It means a lot to me.
The song was written as the intro to our musical " Just A Girl " which is about a girl from a socioeconomically underprivileged family in the USA, who gets into drugabuse, gets into the army to straighten herself out, is abused again by being sent to a war that is meant to fill the bankaccounts of the super elite - and and and -
Been A Happy girl is , as said, the intro to the musical.

It took all three of us - Jay René, my daughter Britt, and me, more than two months to geth this little song written and composed.

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment and kind words.

It makes me cry - this one - it really makes me cry.

I have seen you perform this one life - late in 2007.
Most people didn´t know your story behind the song.
Pepole went TOTALLY silend and then the Ovation

A moment I never forget. I really hope you will either record or produce this one again!!!!

Thank you
Yes that was a really emotional moment - It was extremely difficult to plan and sing this one without bursting out in tears - and then I thought people were bored because everyone stood simply silent for a second or two- It seemed like an eternity.
It´s right, when this one is performed well and at the right moment, in the right settings, it really moves people and they love it.
