What lullaby did you sing with your children?

I always sang "Dreams are the flowers that bloom in your heart" because my mother always sang that to me. :]



It goes "Close your eyes, sleep is more than it seems

Soon you'll discover a garden of dreams

A blossoming tapestry lights up the dark

Dreams are the flowers

that bloom in your heart



Rose dreams are red like a new valentine

Violets are blue 'cause they're sad all the time

Daisy dreams shine like the sun in the park

Dreams are the flowers

that bloom in your heart

So dream and bloom, bloom and dream

And watch your garden grow

When you awaken with a smile

Everyone will know



You've been to dreamland

and now you've returned

Eager to share everything you've learned

Believing in dreams isn't really so hard

Dreams are the flowers

that bloom in your heart"



What about you?

What lullaby did you sing with your children?
My dad always sang to me "In The Jungle/Lion Sleeps Tonight" and we loved it.



And when he couldn't sing, he had the tape (which is where Im sure they got the idea to sing it to us).
Reply:Well...i was bored with the same "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Row Row Row your boat" and all the other regular lullabye's so i started singing "Baby's Got Back."



Here are the lyrics:



"Baby's got Back

and you can not lie

you other brothers can't deny

that when a girl walks in

with an itty bitty waist

and a round thing in your face

you get sprung!"



And my son loves it! And yes...i am being totally serious.
Reply:I've always sand "All the pretty Little Horses" It's a good song to sing with the father too. by Peter Paul %26amp; Mary
Reply:This song I sing is quite melancholy, but it's very calming.

So deep is the night

No moon tonight

No friendly star

To guide me with its light



Be still my heart

Silence lets my love shall be returning

From a world, far apart



So deep is the night

Oh lonlely night

On broken wings

My love has taken flight

And left a dream



In my dream our lips are blending

Will my dream will be never ending

Will your memories haunt me till I die



Alone am I, deep into the night

Waiting for the light

Alone am I, I wonder why

Deep is the night
Reply:Love those words. :)



I did the usual "Braham's Lullabye" and a Lithuanian lullabye that my mom and grandmother sang to me and my siblings. I was also partial to "Angels Watching Over Me".
Reply:I sang "Can't Help Falling in Love" from Elvis. It was also our wedding song. It's a classic and they're still able to hear it when we go to weddings. It makes them smile.
