Lyrics that make you think of your children ?

[Worriedagainmum]

ok so this is a wedding song really
I choose you
but these lyrics hit the spot

You're my always You're my forever You're my reality

You're my sunshine You're my best times You're my anomaly

And I'd choose you
In a hundred lifetimes I'd choose you
In a hundred worlds I'd find Y ou...

Ooh @BasiliskStare, I saw the thread title and immediately thought of Temptation too. It always makes me think of my DS, who had bright blue eyes when he was a baby and toddler which then turned grey and finally ended up green. He’s also autistic and delightfully quirky so the next line of “I’ve never met quite like you before” also fits.

😢😢😢😢😢

OMG. I read this and then had to check I hadn't accidentally opened a zombie thread that is already posted on! The exact same thing happened to me!

I also remember Rule The World was playing the first time I took her out in the car in my own

She's 14 now and rolls her eyes every time I remind her that these 2 tracks are 'our songs'

‘He’s My Boy’ from the Everybody’s Talking About Jamie soundtrack makes me sob every time. Discovered it during the time DS was finishing primary school and it really resonated because it fell like such a big step towards independence!

‘He's my boy
And boys always grow
He's my boy
And boys always go
He's my boy

He's blinded and so floating minded
He's clueless and clever
Confusing, whatever
But oh boy

He's my voice
He's my chance
He's my smile
He's my day
He's my life
He's my pain
He's my joy…’

@Gazelda - snap! We love Rule The World too, and my DD is also 14! 😊

Couldn’t be bothered to type out 🙈you really need to listen…beautiful, dreamy piano etc…Nelly furtado-Childhood dreams. I have a Dd, but it still resonates with me. We waited for 10 years for Dd with many losses along the way

"The best day" by Taylor swift makes me think of my children or rather I hope it makes them think of me one day

Not the whole song, just the chorus, but Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time had me howling in the car when I was pregnant with DD. I think it's because it's what I want to be for her - to be her constant, to catch her if she falls . . .

"If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time"

Oh also a line from an Alanis Morrissette song - "my mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze" . . . YESSS!

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack 💕

When DD was born the song on the radio was Show Me Heaven by Maria McKee. I remember looking down at her tiny fingers around mine, the agony of the last few hours finally finished after that really primal experience, and there she was- and the words I heard just seemed so perfect:

I'm not denyin'
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand, don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way…

There goes my life. It's a country song I can only listen to it once a decade.

When DS was tiny 'if you want me to stay uh-oh' song was out... (Uh-oh, Lumidee). I used to carry him around singing it to him, so it now reminds me of him when he was tiny.

McFly - All about you

Bit of a weird one but The Whole of The Moon by The Waterboys. My teenage DD sees the world in technicolor and I am in awe of her, she is a force of nature.

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

You were there at the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon

I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truths
You cut through lies
I saw the rain-dirty valley
You saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To get too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers, and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferry boats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

Yes, you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon

"I'll keep you safe" by Sleeping At Last

DS - Ho hey, Lumineers
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet

DD1 - She's a rainbow, Rolling Stones
She comes in colours everywhere
She combs her hair
She's a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
Oh everywhere
She comes in colours

DD2 - Hold my girl, George Ezra
I've got time, I've got love
I've got confidence you'll rise above
Give me a minute to hold my girl
Give me a minute to hold my girl
Crowded town, silent bed
Pick a place to rest your head
Give me a minute to hold my girl
Give me a minute to hold my girl

BTS/ Coldplay: You, you are my universe and I just want to put you first💕

I love that song.

when they play live, he sings “send me a perfect son” which makes me think about my son.

also “when we try to name our babies, we’ve forgotten all the names we used to know”

Another one by Arcade Fire - Unconditional. Love The Whole of the moon too

Yes, agree. This song gets me every time.

Never heard this one before, but the lyrics are beautiful. Especially the line 'I am the mother of Evangeline'. Motherhood is not valued as much as having a career or other riches, but the song reminds us that being a mum is something to be treasured. Thanks for this @EnglishGirlApproximately I will look up the song.

Yellow

Your skin and bone turned into something beautiful
You know for you I'd bleed myself dry

Your song Elton John

Forever young Bob Dylan

For you, I'd need myself dry

I remember singing Yellow to tiny DD the first night in the hospital.

Also, the theme from Adventure Time: all of my collections, I'll share them all with you.

@starray it's a song that I relate to so much. I hope you enjoy it 🙂

The Corrs what do I do to make me love me my DD cried all the time only stopped when I breastfed her she effectively used me as a dummy and I let her 🥺
