My favorite tune to sing to Molly these days is Morningbird by Forest Sun.
I don't know all the words so I sometimes have to make up verses.
I love the violin solo. Maybe auntie Sara could learn that... in her spare time.
Here are the lyrics:
Sing to me
My morning bird
The sweetest song I ever heard
Love's melody
In your heart's own words
Sing to me
My morning bird
When the sun
Climbs over the mountain
Just to hear you sing your song
And all the stars
Lay down in heaven
To take their rest
Till evening comes
Won't you sing to me
My morning bird
the sweetest song I ever heard
Love's melody
In your heart?s own words
Sing to me
My morning bird
Don't you fly
Away from me
Without leaving
Me with your song
For the morning
Is much too lonely
And so quiet
When you gone
Sing to me
My morning bird
the sweetest song I ever heard
Love's melody
In your heart's own words
Sing to me
My morning bird
Sing to me
My morning bird
the sweetest song I ever heard
Love?s melody
In your heart?s own words
Sing to me
My morning bird
Today, however, we did not sing Morningbird. We sang this song instead:
We again made up our own lyrics. Puke, poop, laundry and baby spit-up were involved... as again, I only know the chorus.
Below is Ry's favorite song to sing to Molly. We heard Gary Paine sing it at the Elliott's Christmas sing-along last December, and loved it. Ry learned to play it on guitar before Molly was born (for the record, he can also play it on the hound dog guitar), and used to sing it to my belly before she was born.
Speaking of dancing, Clare De Lune is the first song that Molly and I danced too. I was at my desk sending some emails and she was in her bouncer next to me. This song came on Pandora just as she was waking up so we did some dancing to it.
We can't wait for the little bean to learn to dance! Until then we'll just keep singing her tunes.
Rock on lil sister
