How long do you want to be loved Is forever enough

Artist- Dixie Chicks
Song of the day- Lullaby

When one of my bestest of friends told me she was pregnant I gave her this sweet song as one of my most favorite of lullabies because I knew it encapsulated what kind of mother she would be and what kind of great love was headed her way. And as one Mr. Reeve just graced us with his presence I realized I forgot to answer his mother's question when she asked me whose song it was...as I played it on my ukulele and wanted to pretend to take full credit for it. So I figured now's the perfect time to let the real musicians sing Mr. Reeve to sleep as his new mom and dad rock him, clueless of all this great love headed his way. To Reeve and to all holding and needing to be held, this one's for you.



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

As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice 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

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
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
