I have a 14 month old daughter, and for Mother's Day, I want to give my wife a CD of songs all about kids (or specifically daughters if possible). I have a few already ("My Little Girl's Eyes" by Lenny Kravitz, "Bedtime Girl" by Ralph Covert...) but need more.

So I don't want anything you would call "Children's Music", but do you guys know any songs that are about kids or daughters. Nice songs of course....

Help a daddy out!

I thank you child - Zakk Wylde


All for you
Everlasting love forever skies of blue
All in your heart
Never ending just a means for start

Chorus
Comfort in your eyes
For the warmth inside your smile
Faith's done gone astray
It was you who made living all worth the while
I thank you my child
It was you who made living all worth the while
I thank you my child

With the touch of your hand
Amidst confusion I can see enough to understand
All my fears repressed
Oh lovin' you child it's the best

Chorus

You're all & everything to me
Til the end of times you know you'll always be
Ain't no second guess
Oh you put my worried soul to rest

As much as I despise that song, I was going to suggest it too. Weird

Oh yeah, theres that Lee Ann Womack song. Something about dancing. I hope you dance? I think thats it. God I hate it, but I guess if you're into that kinda sappy shit it would work.

Really though, it's a sweet song about her kids or some crap.

Somebody spiked my water with cynicism this morning...


This is a really sweet idea though

i wouldn't put butterfly kisses on their if you paid me, mostly because i know my wife hates that song.

Any other suggestions?

Wow, a lot of country songs here. That won't win me much favor from the wifey

Does she like Jimmy Buffett? "Little Miss Magic" is about his daughter...I love that song

I also really like "Blessed" by Elton John.

Let's open this up to include songs about Mothers as well! And no mentions of "Mother" by Pink Floyd please! (not exactly the sentiment I would be looking for)

"Daughters" by John Mayer

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Yeah, PJ Daughter, about a contentious parent/ child relationship...you might wanna skip that one.


<<the shades go down, it's in her head
painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...
don't call me daughter, not fit to>>
She holds the hand that holds her down
she will...rise above...>>

I'm surprised Quadro2000 has an avatar of Pete Townshend windmilling and he forgot "The kids are alright"!

"Sweet Child O' Mine" would have worked well. There are probably a lot of songs about "baby" that could be seen as talking about a kid. "Pride And Joy" for instance (SRV.)
