"I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife on an island in the blue bay.
He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea,
And close to my heart he'll always stay.
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Ella and
Nelly and Faye.
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
On our island in the blue bay.
Far away far away, I want to go far away.
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another island, in another life."
[lyrics to Far Away by Ingrid Michaelson]

My most recent session, his momma and I sang Rockin Robin (Jackson 5 style) to this baby: he's in that on-all-fours rock back and forth stage. I'm still singing the tune days later!

Here's one I posted over a year ago and it is accompanied by lyrics I actually wrote many years ago. No music was ever written, though.

This is what stuck me when I saw this picture.

Here's an example from my photostream - "I will follow you into the dark" by Death Cab For Cutie http://www.flickr.com/photos/everythingremindsmeofyou/3523172224/
I come from a long line of people who can't really sing, well we CAN sing and break out in song regularly... Maybe I should say we SHOULDN'T sing lol. Love the photo and the melody that was attached to them!
