Music Makes the People Come Together....

I love all types of music and fantasize about a household full of music, my children singing or playing or improvising instruments, the whole family spontaneously bursting into song. Pig loves singing, so I like to have a CD playing in the morning to start off the day, usually the Backyardigans soundtrack or the They Might Be Giants ABCs CD.

Pregnant with the kids, I sang to them once their ears popped out and started working. My favorite is Everyday by Buddy Holly. I've always found that song comforting and very childlike in its reassurances. I still sing it to them when they're sick or wake up unhappy.

Everyday by Buddy Holly

Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday it's a-gettin' faster
Everyone said, go ahead and her
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for, true love from me
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey

Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for, true love from me
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Love like yours will surely come my way
