This sweet song is super special to me because i used to sing it to Henry every night before bed when he was a baby...up until i stopped rocking him to sleep(i think he was probably 16 months old!) Every once in awhile i will sing it to him at night and he will get a glazed look on his face as if he were trying to remember something from long ago. I really love this tender song.
Em! Christian used to ask me to sing this song to him every night before bed when he was about 5 or 6. This lasted for about a year. I found out later that he wanted this song because it was a long one especially when I added the "asleep asleep.." between each verse. I miss that time. How cool that we both sang that song to our boys.
ReplyDeleteMy personal favorite is Silent Night. I love your quotes, Em!
