I need help with a personal project that I'm working on (for my upcoming baby shower, actually!). Can everyone who's interested please post their favorite songs related to children, babies, etc?

Thanks!!

baby mine by bette midler.

Oh I LOVE that song!! I have it listed by Allison Kraus, so it's on the list! Thanks!!

"When You Dream" by the BareNakedLadies

LOVE Alison Krauss's version.

One of my all-time faves: Crosby Stills Nash and Young "Teach Your Children"

LOVE Creed's "Lullaby"

BNL has a whole children's CD that just came out and has a bunch of fun songs on it!

I was gonna say that!!!!!

LOVE BNL!

BNL just played a free show here at our Barnes and Noble to promote their new children's album.

Hi Beth... here's my contribution, accumulated over several years. I've always found it tough to find songs for my little boys. Seems to be more 'daughtery' stuff. ha ha ha... but the world NEEDS little boys!


Let them be little - Lonestar (favourite! First heard this on a slideshow by Davina Fear. It made me SERIOUSLY weep.... in a happy, good sort of way )

In My daughter's Eyes - Martina McBride

Butterfly Kisses - Faith Hill

Daddy's lttle girl - Michael Buble

Beautiful Boy - John Lennon

Sweet like Chocolate (Boy) - Shanks & Bigfoot

I love you always forever - Donna Lewis (not really a kid's song as such.... but it really works with kid's images IMO)

Nothing But a Child - Steve Earl

You are so beautiful - Joe Cocker

Father and Daughter - Paul Simon



THEN... there's some very sweet golden oldies.... like....



Thank Heaven for Little Girls - Perry Como

Little Bitty Pretty One - Bobby Darin

My Boy Lollipop - Lulu

You are my Candy Girl - Archies

Dream Baby - Roy Orbison


Hope that helps....

Annie

These are all so great!!! Thank you!
Let me share a list of ones I have as well, in case you are all interested...

* Somewhere Over the Rainbow / Wonderful World - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
* My Wish - Rascal Flatts
* Sweet Sweet Baby - Melissa Featherstone
* Lullaby - Dixie Chicks
* Gracie - Ben Folds
* Capri - Colbie Caillat

Oh I have so much to listen to and decide

I'll throw in "Barefoot Children" by Jimmy Buffett. But I may just be gearing up for the concert in a few weeks...

Beth,

Thanks for that! I didn't even mention 'Izzy' because I was so sure you'd already know about that one. I have made so many client DVD's with 'Rainbow' that I can spell his name without even looking!

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole .... see!

BTW Sweet Baby is MICHELLE Featherstone, just in case anyone is Googling.
