We're always looking for songs that promote attachment with our 4- and 5-year-old daughters who came to us through foster care. I found a winner on a children's album by Collin Raye. The album is called "Counting Sheep." I wasn't familiar with Collin Raye, but he's a country singer and he wins my applause with this song! The song is "I'm Gonna Love You." Read the lyrics and see why I love singing this upbeat tune with my girls! [url=http://www.collinraye.com/index.htm?id=11378&inc=7&album_id=864#7350]Collin Raye :: Music :: Official Artist Site[/url]
Another one... When our daughters first came to us, I wanted to sing them "baby" songs as I rocked them but they were old enough to notice that the words to "Rock a Bye Baby" were a little twisted! So I wrote these attachment-oriented lyrics. Same tune.
Rock a bye, baby, I love you so
I'll keep you warm when the wind blows
When the rain falls, I'll cover your head
And softly I'll lay you down in your bed
(Now it's our favorite song!)
