	On one of the DVDs (I think it's Touring Band 2000) Eddie said that Stone wanted to dedicate the song to someone. If it is about murder, then it's not very smart to record a death threat on DVD.

	Personally, this seems to fit more with the love between a father and his daughter. I kind of visualize a father holding his baby girl, rocking her to sleep and just being completely enamored with the little one.

	I sing this song to my newborn daughter and she responds to it so well! My daughter was a month pre-mature so naturally she was very small. When I first was able to hold her, there was some fear that I may "do harm to her" because of her small weight. You quickly have to "wash that feeling off" because the feeling of love between parent and child is meant to share.
