Quote/song help

[disneygals]

Since you are all so GREAT with quotes and songs, maybe you can help me.

I had a great idea for my daughters' scrapbooks to have song lyrics, titles, or quotes as themes for each page ( maybe one per year or general pages). I was sure I could find something easy online, but no.

All I can think of so far is Butterfly Kisses, Baby, baby (Amy Grant)
Isn't she lovely? (Stevie Wonder) It doesn't have to be a "kids" song, any love song might fit too.

TIA!

That is a cute idea!

I have a nephew that was born around the time Shania Twain's "From This Moment" came out. Although that is popular as a wedding song (actually my stepdaughter and SIL had that as "their" song ) a lot of the words are applicable the mother/infant thing. My sister has a baby photo of her son in a lovely frame that another sister decorated with pastel colors and designs and the words to the first verse of that song......which is what made it pop into my head when I read your post

(With a Disney theme ) the song "Baby Mine" from Dumbo comes to mind....and "You'll be in my Heart" from Tarzan.....

have fun with your project

"Thank Heaven for Little Girls"

 

[glo]

I know this is weird but...when I was pregnant with my oldest...I loved the song "For Once in MY Life" Stevie Wonder I think.

How about "Thank Heavens for Little Girls"

 

[Saffron]

Awww Glo! That's not weird, that's sweet!

How about the Beatles : There were stars in the sky, but I never saw them shining, no I never saw them at all, Til There Was You ... .

Joan Baez's "Forever Young."

Disney's Dumbo's "Baby Mine" makes me cry!
Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine

Got any sleepyhead pictures?

Disney's Mary Poppins' Stay Awake
Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream

Hahahahaha! Looks like I made up that verse to the Beatles song, all by myself.

Here is the real song.

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Till there was you

Sorry Ann. I didn't see that you had posted "Baby Mine" first.

Wonderful idea! I hope to use a lot of lyrics in my DD's book too!

How about James Taylor's How Sweet it is to be Loved by You

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone's arms, and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Or James' Smiling Face

Whenever I see your smiling face
I have to smile myself
Because I love you (Yes, I do)
And when you give me that pretty little pout
It turns me inside out
There's something about you, baby (I don't know)

(Chorus)
Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It will grow stronger every day
Oh, how much longer

I thought I was in love
A couple of times before
With the girl next door
But that was long before I met you
Now I'm sure that I won't forget you
And I thank my lucky stars
That you are who you are
And not just another lovely lady
Sent down to break my heart

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It can grow stronger every day
How much longer

No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see you smile at me
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see your smiling face my way
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today

It's a Bob Dylan song, but I love the way Joan Baez sings it: Forever Young

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU ALWAYS
MAY YOUR WISHES ALL COME TRUE
MAY YOU ALWAYS DO FOR OTHERS
AND LET OTHERS DO FOR YOU
MAY YOU BUILD A LADDER
TO THE STARS
AND CLIMB ON EVERY RUNG
AND MAY YOU STAY
FOREVER YOUNG

FOREVER YOUNG
FOREVER YOUNG
MAY YOU STAY
FOREVER YOUNG

MAY YOU GROW UP
TO BE RIGHTEOUS
MAY YOU GROW UP TO BE TRUE
MAY YOU ALWAYS KNOW THE TRUTH
AND SEE THE LIGHTS SURROUNDING YOU
MAY YOU ALWAYS BE COURAGEOUS
STAND UP RIGHT AND BE STRONG
AND MAY YOU STAY
FOREVER YOUNG

FOREVER YOUNG
FOREVER YOUNG
MAY YOU STAY
FOREVER YOUNG

MAY YOUR HANDS ALWAYS BE BUSY
MAY YOUR FEET ALWAYS BE SWIFT
MAY YOU HAVE A STRONG FOUNDATION
WHEN THE WINDS OF CHANGES SHIFT
MAY YOUR HEART ALWAYS BE JOYFUL
MAY YOUR SONG ALWAYS BE SUNG
MAY YOU STAY
FOREVER YOUNG

FOREVER YOUNG
FOREVER YOUNG
MAY YOU STAY
FOREVER YOUNG

How about 10,00 Maniacs' These are the Days
These are the days

These are days
You'll remember
Never before and
Never since
I promise
Will the world
Be warm as this
And as you feel it

You'll know it's true
That you
Are blessed and lucky
It's true
That you
Are touched by something
That'll grow and bloom
In you

These are days
That you'll remember
When May is
Rushing over you
With desire
To be part of
The miracles you see
In every hour

You'll know it's true
That you
Are blessed and lucky
It's true
That you
Are touched by something
That'll grow and bloom
In you

These are days
These are the days
You might fill with laughter
Until you break

These days you might
Feel a shaft of light
Make its way
Across your face

And when you do
Then you'll know
How it was
Meant to be
See the signs
And know their meaning

It's true
Then you'll know
How it was
Meant to be
Hear the signs
And know they're speaking
To you

To you

Gordon Lightfoot's Beautiful

At times I just don't know
How you could be anything but beautiful
I think that I was made for you and you were made for me
And I know that I will never change
'Cause we been friends through rain or shine
For such a long, long time

Laughing eyes and smiling face
It seems so lucky just to have the right
Of telling you with all my might, you're beautiful tonight
And I know that you will never stray
'Cause you been that way, from day to day
For such a long, long time

And when you hold me tight
How could life be anything but beautiful
I think that I was made for you and you were made for me
And I know that I will never change
'Cause we been friends through rain or shine
For such a long, long time

And I must say it means so much to me
To be the one
That's telling you
I'm telling you
That you're beautiful

Last one from me. Toy Story's You've Got a Friend in Me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, and I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see
It's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

How about Irving Berlin's "Sisters" (from "White Christmas")?

Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters,
Never had to have a chaperone, No sir,
I'm there to keep my eye on her
Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome
She wore the dress, and I stayed home
All kinds of weather, we stick together
The same in the rain and sun
Two different faces, but in tight places
We think and we act as one
Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can

Disnee Dad Says..................................Never saw the movie, Thornberries. Paul Simon sings a song, that says "I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow" etc... One of our dis experts can get the rest of the words but it would be perfect

from " Tarzan", by Phil Collins, "You'll be in my heart" etc...don't know all the words.

and the old classic "when you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are" etc...
