I hear babies cry, I watch them grow

Do you and your hubby have a song?  About fifteen years ago my best friend heard a song on the radio and said "ohh that is our song".  She and her husband had a "song".  Not fair, I wanted one too.  So hubby and I got together and found our song.  One that we both loved the lyrics and an added bonus, it is such a great slow dance song.  Now at almost every wedding reception you will think of us. 

Then last week, one of my favorite blogs was featuring "our song".  I can't tell you have fast I clicked, paypalled and hit send.   They are postcards.  But, I will be framing one or two.

They came yesterday!


And then the package came, and even the packaging was exciting.  I know, I am easily pleased.  



You know "our song".. you have heard it maybe, by Louis Armstrong.

Here is the post that sent me to ordering my package of 10 cards.  Hurry if you want some too, they might be sold out.


I about fell off my chair when I saw her post with "our song".  



Bright blessed days... dark sacred nights 
I hear babies cry... I watch them grow

and I think to myself... WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD


Songwriters: GEORGE DAVID WEISS, GEORGE DOUGLAS, BOB THIELE
I see trees of green........ red roses too 
I see em bloom..... for me and for you 
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world. 

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white 
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights 
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world. 

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky 
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by 
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do 
They're really sayin......i love you. 

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow 
They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know 
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world 

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky 
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by 
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do 
They're really sayin...*spoken*(I ....love....you). 

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow 
*spoken*(you know their gonna learn 
A whole lot more than I'll never know) 
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world 
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.

  3. Love love love your song! Tom and I like it too. Tom sings it often in his best Louie Armstrong voice and it just makes me happy! Jemma even sings it now! Don't you love Dear Lillie? I have followed her for a while now and purchased several things. That was the perfect thing for you!

  4. I love that song too! My dad is a huge Louie Armstrong fan and we danced to that for our father/daughter dance at my wedding. I am so glad you were so pleased with your purchase. Thank you for all your kind words! Have a blessed rest of the weekend!
