Can't find my way home – Slowhand – The Eric Clapton Tribute

Already Precious is a song that cradles the fragile wonder of new life. Its words trace the awe of first breath, the tenderness of first touch, and the unshakable bond formed in those earliest moments. More than a lullaby, it is a testament to how love can arrive fully formed—before a future is known, before a word is spoken.

***** Lyrics *****

Verse 1
The room fell silent, but my heart beat loud,
I saw your face, and the world spun around.
So tiny and fragile, yet so easily I was won.
In one single moment, my heart was undone.

Chorus 1
For the joy your first breath brought.
I’d do anything for you without a thought,
So tiny, so profound, such a pretty little thing—
My life, my heart, my everything

Verse 2
Your fingers curled around my thumb,
That simple touch—my world became numb.
Ten little toes, a heart, eyes that really see—
The miracle of life staring back at me.

Chorus 2
For the joy your first breath brought.
I’d do anything for you without a thought,
So tiny, so profound, such a pretty little thing—
My life, my heart, my everything.

Verse 3
I held you close when your mom and dad left,
A weight of love I would never have guessed.
The hush of their trust, here’s my quiet vow—
I’ll protect you always, starting right now.

Chorus 3
I’ll guard every moment, till the end of time.
I’ll sing to you and read you a rhyme
So tiny, so profound, such a pretty little thing—
My life, my heart, my everything

Verse 4
Child of my blood, yet more than me,
A page unwritten, what will you be?
I dream of your laughter, your joy, your light,
Of the days and years that will make you fight.

Chorus 4
To see the joy that to the world you will give.
All your precious years, that I hope I outlive,
So tiny, so profound, such a pretty little thing—
My life, my heart, my everything

Bridge
One day you’ll be grown, one day you’ll roam,
But you’ll never be lost, you’ll always have home.
Whatever the cost, whatever the years,
I’ll stand behind you through your joys and my tears.

Final Chorus
For the treasure in my arms I’ve found
I’d give my life without a doubt.
Nothing in this world could mean as much to me—
My life, my heart, my everything

Already precious, already whole,
From the very first time I cradled your soul.


Already Precious - WAV

To Have and To Hold is not a biography, a lecture, or a historical reconstruction. It is an imagined world — one you step into to feel your way around an idea rather than to learn it.

The album takes place loosely in early-20th-century Cambridge, at the moment when Western thought was beginning to strain under its own certainty. Science had proved astonishingly powerful at breaking reality into parts, explaining mechanisms, and producing results — yet at the same time it was encountering problems it could no longer fully contain. Probability was replacing certainty. Events mattered as much as objects. Meaning no longer sat still.

Out of this tension emerged process philosophy: the idea that reality is not made of finished things, but of ongoing happenings — that love, time, marriage, and even truth itself are not states you reach, but activities you keep participating in.

The album imagines this moment through a human lens. A mathematician trying to complete a system of logic. A thinker insisting that nothing important is ever truly finished. Proofs accumulating. Years passing. A marriage understood first as a statement, then slowly revealed as a practice. Love appearing not as romance in the foreground, but as something quietly unfolding elsewhere — happening whether it is attended to or not.

Rather than explaining these ideas directly, the songs allow you to inhabit them. You hear bells ring. You feel evenings close in. You sense the weight of unfinished work and the relief of letting something continue without control. The philosophy is not taught; it is lived.

This is a soft documentary in sound — an audio quantum leap into a world. Its purpose is not accuracy, quotation, or instruction, but immersion. By the time the album ends, you may not be able to define process philosophy in a sentence — but you may feel why it arose, what problem it was answering, and why it still matters.

To Have and To Hold is an exploration of commitment not as possession, but as attention.
Of marriage not as a conclusion, but as renewal.
Of understanding not as something you arrive at — but something that keeps happening.

If you listen closely, nothing here ever quite resolves.
But something continues.
