I sang "My Funny Valentine" to my baby girl who died. A friend who was in a band, drove back hundreds of miles to sing it at her funeral. She did such a amazing job.
I sing "Tell Me Why The Ivy Twines", an old hymn Garrison Keiller used to open his show with for my teenager.
My 8 yr olds song is, "I Gave My Love A Cherry."
I sing, "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. And my teenager also "gave" her "Brown-eyed Girl" by Van Morrison.

I usually will have to sing all of them, one after the other.

We listen to "Sleep Baby Sleep," by Nicolette Larson everynight before bed. I sing some of off there, too, but the above sorta came with the babies. Zhlake, you might want to give this a listen. It is so so beautiful!!!!!

I love this thread. Even though singing is not my best talent.

"Gypsy" is about the youngest girls' dad.

Liz, how funny. I hope he let's his parent sing and dance a bit later!!!!

eilonwy, how cool that you made yours up!!!

Sing on mamma's. You could not do worse than I do.
