Rowan's "special special" song

Lately Rowan has been obsessed with a song I sing to her at bedtime. She calls it her "special special" song. Anytime the word "special" is used, she says it twice (i.e. "special special treat", "special special surprise", etc.) So, here is Rowan's special, special song. It's part of the song "Lullaby" by the Dixie Chicks.

*They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up*

For good measure, here is Tate's special song, "Godspeed", also by the Dixie Chicks.

*The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, we'll find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God heard "Amen," wherever you are
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams*

Unfortunately, Tate's song is slightly out of my vocal range, so I'm not sure he'll ever quite consider it his "special special" song.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We celebrated by eating yummy fish tacos that I made without a recipe. Even Rowan devoured them!
