Songs for Parent and Child - By Celine Dion
Celine Dion is one of my favourite singers and I have always enjoyed her songs. She has several songs for parent and child and I especially dedicate these songs to my sons. The baby pictures by Anne Geddes are so beautiful!
Come to Me
Lyrics
I will always love you no matter what
No matter where you go or what you do
And knowing you
You’re gonna have to do things you’re own way
And that’s okay
So be free, spread your wings
And promise me just one thing…
If you ever need a place to cry
Baby, come to me
Come to me
I’ve always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
If the world breaks your heart
No matter where on Earth you are
You can come to me
Baby, come to me
Come to me
I’ve always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
If the world breaks your heart
No matter where on Earth you are
You can come to me
Don’t walk around with the world on you’re shoulders
And you’re highest hopes laying on the ground
I know you think you’ve gotta try to be my hero
But don’t you know the stars you wish upon they fall its true
But I still believe in you
And you’re highest hopes laying on the ground
I know you think you’ve gotta try to be my hero
But don’t you know the stars you wish upon they fall its true
But I still believe in you
If you ever need a place to cry
Baby, come to me
Come to me
I’ve always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
If the world breaks your heart
No matter where on Earth you are
You can come to me
Baby, come to me
Come to me
I’ve always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
If the world breaks your heart
No matter where on Earth you are
You can come to me
And the seven sea’s you sail
All the winding road you’re on
Leave you lost and feeling all alone
Let my heart be your beacon home
All the winding road you’re on
Leave you lost and feeling all alone
Let my heart be your beacon home
If you ever need a place to cry
Baby, come to me
Come to me
I’ve always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
When the world breaks your heart
No matter where on Earth you are
You can come to me
Baby, come to me
Come to me
I’ve always known that you were born to fly
But you can come to me
When the world breaks your heart
No matter where on Earth you are
You can come to me
My Precious One
My precious one, my tiny one, lay down your pretty head.
My dearest one my sleepy one, its time to go to bed
My dearest one my sleepy one, its time to go to bed
My precious one, my darling one, don’t let your lashes weep.
My cherished one, my weary one, it’s time to go to sleep.
My cherished one, my weary one, it’s time to go to sleep.
Just lie your head and give your cares to me.
Just close your eyes and fall into the sweetest dream, cause in my loving arms.
You’re safe as you will ever be, so hush my dear and sleep.
Just close your eyes and fall into the sweetest dream, cause in my loving arms.
You’re safe as you will ever be, so hush my dear and sleep.
And in your dreams you’ll ride on angels wings.
Dance with the stars and touch the face of god
And if you should awake, I’ll send you back to sleep.
Dance with the stars and touch the face of god
And if you should awake, I’ll send you back to sleep.
My precious one, my tiny one, I will kiss your little cheeks.
And down beneath the smiling room, I’ll send you back to sleep
And down beneath the smiling room, I’ll send you back to sleep
Beautiful Boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Boy
Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monster’s gone,
He’s on the run
And your mummy’s here.
Have no fear,
The monster’s gone,
He’s on the run
And your mummy’s here.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Boy,
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Boy.

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It’s getting better and better,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It’s getting better and better,
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Boy (Beautiful boy),
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Boy.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Boy.
Out on the ocean, sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we’ll both just have to be patient
Cause it’s a long way to go,
A hard row to hoe
Yes it’s a long way to go,
But in the meantime…
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we’ll both just have to be patient
Cause it’s a long way to go,
A hard row to hoe
Yes it’s a long way to go,
But in the meantime…
Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans…
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans…
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Boy(Beautiful boy),

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Boy,
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Boy….
Miracle
Lyrics
You’re my life’s one miracle
Everything I’ve done that’s good
And you break my heart with tenderness
And I confess it’s true
I never knew a love like this ’til you
Everything I’ve done that’s good
And you break my heart with tenderness
And I confess it’s true
I never knew a love like this ’til you
You’re the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I’m overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
Though the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more
Now I finally know for sure
And I’m overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
Though the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more
The nearest thing to heaven
You’re my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love
You’re my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love
When you smile AT me I cry
And to save your life I’d die
With a romance that is pure in heart
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires
I live for your desires
Forget my own, your needs will come before
Who could ever love you more
And to save your life I’d die
With a romance that is pure in heart
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires
I live for your desires
Forget my own, your needs will come before
Who could ever love you more
There is nothing you could ever do
To make me stop loving you
And every breath I take
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams
And know for sure
Who could ever love you more
To make me stop loving you
And every breath I take
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams
And know for sure
Who could ever love you more
If I Could
Lyrics
If I could
I’d protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would
I’d protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I’ve never learned
And I’d help you cross the bridges that I’ve burned
Yes, I would
I would teach you all the things I’ve never learned
And I’d help you cross the bridges that I’ve burned
Yes, I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn’t mine
I’ve watched you grow
So I could let you go
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn’t mine
I’ve watched you grow
So I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
If I live
In a time and place where you don’t want to be
You don’t have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday
Won’t have to be your way
In a time and place where you don’t want to be
You don’t have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday
Won’t have to be your way
If I knew
I’d would try to change the world I brought to you to
I’d would try to change the world I brought to you to
And there isn’t very much that I can do
But I would
If I could…
oh baby… I just want to protect you
and help my baby through the hungry years
cause you’re part of me
and if you ever… ever need
I said a shoulder to cry on
Or just someone to talk to
I’ll be there… I’ll be there
I didn’t change your world
but I would
If I Could!
But I would
If I could…
oh baby… I just want to protect you
and help my baby through the hungry years
cause you’re part of me
and if you ever… ever need
I said a shoulder to cry on
Or just someone to talk to
I’ll be there… I’ll be there
I didn’t change your world
but I would
If I Could!
I love this book too. I gave it to my daughter when she had her baby shower for one of her boys. The pictures are beautiful…almost magical!!
