On the back of the card Sue Lion says "These are the songs I sang to my children. They are the songs my mother sang to me" Those are the lyrics surrounding the picture. Funny that I don't remember my Mother singing lullabies to me as a child. I am absolutely sure her mother did not sing to her. I know my Mother had to have. I remember her humming and she adored Antiono Carlos Jobim and his latin songs and guitar. So much so that is what I had played at her funeral. I had a CD of his favorite songs that she had been gifted and that is what played.
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking and when she passes each one she passes goes ahhh.
I have no memory of lullabies, but I do know music can soothe my soul!
ReplyDeletemusic was one of mothers passions and one of the things that departed early. She was a whistler.
