IF I HAD WORDS
Gene (gawilli), I love that you asked about Gages song. He loves the movie "Babe".
In it the farmer ,Mr Hoggett, is trying to get the little sick pig to drink some water. He is in his cozy little cottage on the couch with Babe and he sings this song:
IF I HAD WORDS TO MAKE A DAY FOR YOU
I'D SING YOU A MORNING GOLDEN AND TRUE
I WOULD MAKE THIS DAY LAST FOR ALL TIME
AND FILL THE NIGHT DEEP IN MOONSHINE
Gage started asking me to "sing the babe song" over and over. Now he only goes to sleep if I sing it. If he wakes up cranky and he hears his song he just smiles and lays back on his pillow or in my arms. Last Monday he took about 15 minutes to fall asleep. I sang it over and over for the entire time. He sings along with me as he falls asleep and it's the cutest thing. He was 2 yrs old last month and he has memorized this 4 line song. He only needs prompting on the last line. It is not possible to hear his tiny voice sing this song and not get tears in your eyes.
