My go-to song is "Goodnight, Demon Slayer" by Voltaire:
I'm still learning the last few verses but the first three or four (plus the chorus) I've memorized and sing to her almost daily. And yes, I will be singing it to her when she can understand the words a bit better. No, that doesn't make me a horrible person.
The song I want to sing to her while she still can't understand words is this one, "Lullaby" by Tim Minchin:
I'm absolutely okay with that.
Do you have any suggestions for other wonderful lullabies? I'd love to hear them!
Luke's modifed 'Puff the Magic Dragon' was easy to memorize. And making up my own add-ons to 'Hush Little baby' is unending and variety...
ReplyDeleteI make up verses for "Hush Little Baby" too! And I never thought about singing her Puff - can I ask what the modified version was?
DeleteHalf the music I sing to her I make up on the spot with some random tune about what's going on around her. It makes her mom laugh and some day will hopefully elicit the same from her.
I mostly remember my mom singing Matchmaker and Dream the Impossible Dream.
