Can you think of any songs about a child or dog growing up ?

[Lardlizard]

Like you raise me up etc

When somebody loves me - Sarah Maclachlan. Sob sob sob

It’s from ToyStory 2, all about growing up and moving on.

Omg crying at shep

From Toy Story, now Shave mentions it, also 'you've got a friend in me'.

Cat Stevens Father and Son

Michael Jackson - Ben
My brother
Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah

Son of my Father Chicory Tip

Forever young sung by Sharon Murphy is lovely I might use that one

Sunrise sunset is lovely too

Harry Chapin sings Cats in the Cradle.
Brilliant song and brilliant singer/songwriter. Died far too soon.

Slow down by Nichole Nordeman

When somebody loved me ! Sob sob sob it’s a female dog aswell so very fitting !

Que sera sera - loads of people have sung it.

About a child not a dog thou

Someone beat me to it but I was going to say cat Steven's father and son

Theres the song from a few years ago by lucas Graham 7 years old

Lonely Boy - Andrew Gold

My dog's bigger than your dog or Katy by Tom Paxton

Also Fred by Tom Paxton

First of May by The Bee Gees.
Barry Gibb wrote it about his dog, Barnaby, the first of May was the dogs birthday.

I loved her first by heartland

Sorry for making so many people cry the night before Christmas Eve !!

Martha My Dear - The Beatles

Paul wrote it about his sheepdog, Martha!

Old Shep - Elvis Yes, except that Elvis' heartfelt sincerity kind of kills the humour. I prefer Jim Reeves' more laconic performance. The bit about "I wished they would shoot me instead" has me howling with laughter. I admit I'm not a dog lover. :)

Ben Bolt. I was thinking about that one recently because so many people I grew up with seem to have passed away. I suppose that's normal when you get to middle age, but it weirded me out. I don't think there are any dogs (unless "Sweet Alice" was a dog which hadn't occurred to me before..?)

I’ve got a dog called Digger- Ralph McTell
