Semisonic's "Closing Time" is about a child's birth. That one may stop a little early in the process for your tape :) but it's a touching lyric.

I think that might be a different "Closing Time" than the one I've heard.
Tom Paxton - "Little Brand New Baby" Rosie and the Originals - "Angel Baby" Stevie Wonder - "Isn't She Lovely" Talking Heads - "Up All Night" Elton John - "Blessed" More by Loudon Wainwright III - "Be Careful, There's a Baby in the House"; "Bein' A Dad"; "A Father and a Son"

I think this song is exactly what you are looking for: Kate Bush - Bertie

It's in the book by their drummer--I never imagined the lyric was about a birth either. "This room won't be open 'til your brothers or your sisters come." It's a nice lyric.

Well, I'll be.
