As you can imagine, I’ve been singing a lot of lullabies lately. With the boys I usually sang hymns – Trust & Obey was a favorite. But JGirl seems to be a bit different. She seems to prefer these two.<\/p>\n

Golden slumbers<\/h1>\n

By Thomas Dekker<\/p>\n

Golden slumber kiss your eyes,
\nSmiles await you when you rise.
\nSleep, pretty baby,
\nDo not cry,
\nAnd I will sing you a lullaby.<\/p>\n

Care is heavy, therefore sleep,
\nWhile I o’er you watch do keep.
\nSleep, pretty darling,
\nDo not cry,
\nAnd I will sing you a lullaby.<\/p>\n

And, my favorite Muppet Lullaby – you didn’t know they had one??<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m Going To Go Back There Someday<\/h1>\n

This looks familiar, vaguely familiar,
\nAlmost unreal, yet, it’s too soon to feel yet.
\nClose to my soul, and yet so far away.
\nI’m going to go back there someday.
\nSun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls.
\nIs that a song there, and do I belong there?
\nI’ve never been there, but I know the way.
\nI’m going to go back there someday.
\nCome and go with me, it’s more fun to share,
\nWe’ll both be completely at home in midair.
\nWe’re flyin’, not walkin’, on featherless wings.
\nWe can hold onto love like invisible strings.
\nThere’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.
\nPart heaven, part space, or have I found my place?
\nYou can just visit, but I plan to stay.
\nI’m going to go back there someday.
\nI’m going to go back there someday.<\/p>\n

So, what’s your favorite? Or better yet…what’s your children’s favorites?<\/p>\n
