I was just wondering... - if your child has "a song"???

uwishucudfly wrote: I didn't know if I was the only one, but I have sort of given a song to my two boys and I plan to do it with this baby also. For instance, Devin, my 2 1/2 year old, I have sort of designated the song "Godspeed" by the Dixie Chicks for him. I play it when we are in the car sometimes, I sing it too him when he goes to sleep, and it is just sort of "his song". For my son Brandon, it is "Blackbird" by The Beatles. Hopefully, one day I will have another son, name him James, and that way "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor can be his song as well.

Do any of your children have their own song? Am I a freak?

MommyToAshley replied: Aweee, that is sweet!

DH put the song, "A moment like this" to Ashley's birth video. I always think of Ashley when I hear that song. I always start to cry when I hear the verse,"I've waited a lifetime for a moment like this" It's so true... even if I didn't know it, I have been waiting a lifetime for a moment like that and nothing else can compare to it!

mummy2girls replied: "in my daughters eyes" from martine mcbride. The part where it goes..she was sent here to rescue me. Just makes me bawl. Because it is so true!!!!!!!!!

MM'sMama replied: I always sing "I Hope You Dance" to Brice.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Mine is "In My Daughters Eyes as well" I usually can't get through this verse without breaking down.

Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

CCTandME replied: I think the name of it is Amazed. I use to sing it to my oldest daughter all the time when she was a baby.
"every little thing that you do, baby I'm amazed by you"
so true. I was always so amazed from the moment she was born, watching her grow and explore the world. Ahh, when life was simple.

Merlin replied: I dont sing it to him but that song accidently in love by the counting crows makes me think of Douggie

beckamouse replied: my maggie has two songs she enjoys...but they arent sentimental she just likes bouncing around to them.



she likes Outkasts "Hey Ya" and the themesong to a video game called Kingdom hearts.


oh and the opening theme to an anime i watch called trigun makes her giggle

bwalkerletters replied: I played guitar and sang "My Girl" to Maddie when she was in the womb. That's her song.

paradisemommy replied: i'd say baby mine by bette middler and house at pooh corner (christopher robin)..i always sang those to him...(still do)

JAYMESMOM replied:
I agree. I heard the song for the first time bringing Jayme home from the hospital. It is out song.

maestra replied: Isn't she lovely by Stevie Wonder, and Lullaby (Good Night My Angel)by Billy Joel, even though it's sad.

I used to sing Lullaby to Jaci when I was pregnant. Then, when she was 6 months old, a friend's baby died of sids at 4 months old, and they played that song at the funeral. I could never get through it without crying before, and definately not now. But now they have the beautiful book that goes with it.

Good night my angel time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say

I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Where ever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

*Verse 2*
Good night my angel now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay

And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

(Musical Bridge)
Do do do do...

*Verse 3*
Goodnight my angel now it's time to dream
And dream how wondeful your life will be
Someday your child will cry and if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die that's how you and I will be
