(Acoustic Guitar)
They song Henry's performing today...
..he wrote it for a girl he's got a bit of a crush on.
If it got on telly then she might hear the song?
Yeah.
and then?
She might go out with me.
(Laughing)
I don't think she's ever heard my song.
The lyrics are just about how I felt the first time I saw her.
And if she'd notice me I'd just be like really happy about that.
(Music playing)
Ever since Henry was really young he's been singing in the house
probably since he was 2.
We're really proud of him, that he's written a song.
And we think it's brilliant but we've heard it 200, 300, 400 times
we have heard it a lot of times.
I could sing it to you now I know all the words.
I'd love to be a pop star.
I'm just really really excited
I can't wait to get up on theat stage and just perform.
(Music playing)
We wish you the best of luck
We can't wait to hear this song now.
Thanks
Good luck
