Singing to sleep - fave songs?

[Lenny]

Twinkle Twinkle for DS1 and I like to sing "if i could save time in a bottle" for DS2.

Used to be Swing Low, more recently Brown Girl in the Ring became a favourite.

yep, we do twinkle twinkle here too, theres a bit of a pattern....start off with twinkle, then silent night, then come o ye faithful, then away in a manger (but I change the words, "my little boy jacob lay down his sweet head" sorry if that offends any religious types..!) then somewhere over the rainbow then the alphabet song LOL! By the end of that he will be nodding off...most of the time...

"Lullaby" by Billy Joel used to work for DD... I used to get a bit teary singing it to her too Such pretty lyrics... "Goodnight my angel time to go to sleep, and save these questions for another day..." but the bit that always gets me is this bit:

I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Where ever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

Or "Goodnight sweetheart" from Three Men and a Little Lady, not sure if that's the right name for it but you know the one!

[~Kim~]

well I sing...a lot. So I sing what ever pops into my head.

Alphabet/twinkle twinkle/baa baa black sheep (well they're all the same tune anyway), It's a long way to Tipperary, Sadie the Cleaning Lady, Down by the station, My old man's a dustman, I've been working on the railway, catch a falling star....what ever nursery rhyme pops up next.
Sadly I can usually get through my whole (very long) repertoire before the little rat will actually go to sleep these days....
