My daughter is four (or four and a half as she insists). This morning she ‘wrote’ this song. All I did was write it down - the words are hers.
I wish I lived in the sky
I wish I lived in the sky
But we are human beings
So we don’t live in the sky
If I was in a flying boat
I could jump onto the moon
I suspect that she’s been influenced by my hubby’s love of the Beatles.
thanks for sharing it w/ us

I wrote about jumping onto the moon once too, and I was influenced by something as well. Fermented Pop-Tarts, if I recall correctly. Hopefully in your case it’s just a musical reference.

Great song.
Maybe, I’ll go check the garage, just to be sure.

Lol, I suppose I WAS reading to her before she could hold a book, Dana. She loves to read and is just starting to read a few more words.

You never know what you might find there, Pinhole

Gotta love a bright, creative kid! Maybe you should get your daughter together with deorre for a great songwriting collaboration.

Yes, I have no doubt of that, FFF. She’s already convinced she knows everyting - I don’t know if Blogland is ready for her

Now there would be a match made in heaven

Inspired by her father’s taste in music, perhaps, but she is clearly her mother’s daughter!

Thanks, ThatOneAgain. I have been nurturing not so secret hopes that she would be good with words.
