Songs for Childrens Video
Hello, my husband and I are getting started on our twins (boy/girl) one year videos. We use there still pictures and put them to music on a dvd. I have a lot of songs to use for my daughter but am having some trouble finding them for my son. When we did my now 3 yr old sons video it was tough finding songs about, or for, little boys. I really dont want to use the same songs that I used for him. So I am asking if anyone can think of any, we prefer country but will use any slow songs for them. Thank you.
N.

Ok I'll post lyrics too, this one has a nice message, maybe it is sad, but my husbands dad always played it for him and now my husband lays it for my son, it is Cat Stevens, Cats in the Cradle. Please let us know your choices for boy and girl, what a great idea, I know i have the software on my computer i just haven't gotten to it yet!
A child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking before I knew it and as he grew
He said, "I’m gonna be like you, Dad,
You know I’m gonna be like you"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin home, Son, I don’t know when,
But we'll get together then,
You know we'll have a good time then.
My son turned ten just the other day
He said "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on lets play
can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today,
I got a lot to do" He said "Thats okay"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said "I’m gonna be like him, yeah
You know I’m going to be like him"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy grew with the man on the moon
When you comin home, Son, I dont know when,
But we'll get together then,
You know we'll have a good time then.
Well he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say,
"Son, I’m proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy grew with the man on the moon
When you comin home, Son, I dont know when,
But we'll get together then, Dad
You know we'll have a good time then.
I’ve long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said "Id like to see you if you don’t mind"
He said "Id love to Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new jobs a hassle, and the kids have the flu.
But It's sure nice talking to you, Dad,
It's been sure nice talking to you........"
And as I hung up the phone it had occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me,
My boy was just like me..............
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy grew with the man on the moon
When you comin home, Son, I dont know when,
But we'll get together then, Dad
We're gonna have a good time then.
The cats in the craddle and the silver spoon
Little boy grew with the man on the moon
When you comin home, Son, I ndon't know when,
We're gonna have a good time then.

Hello, one song that I thought of when I read your post is "Watching You" by Rodney Atkins. Not sure if it has been mentioned. It is a country song & it's about a little boy that wants to be just like his dad. Also another one that might be good is "He Gets That From Me" by Reba McIntire. Hope that helps! -S.

I love the song "When you dream" by Barenaked Ladies; it is a very nice ballad for the lead singers son. Also "Godspeed" by the Dixie Chicks is a good song too. Good luck!

If you are a Christian, there is a Phillips, Craig, and Dean song about a dad singing to God "Lord I want to be just like you, 'Cause he wants to be just like me. I want to be a holy example for his innocent eyes to see." It is really very sweet! Good luck and God Bless!

Hi Nicole.. I just got done doing my kids videos as well.. and I'm not sure what songs you used before, but I used "I've been watching you" by Rodney Adkins and "Then they do" by Trace Adkins...I didn't even realize till now.. that they were sung by brothers.. humm too funny... Anyway.. My family loved the CDS made with this music. Hope this helps
Sincerly, B.
PS.. Can I ask what program you are using to make your videos? I've been using Nero, but I would like to find another program to use. Thanks

Hi the song my 4 year old son & husband love and seems to sound just like them is called Rodney Atkins - "Watching You" it is a really cute Daddy & son song. The other good Daddy / son song is Jamey Johnson - "The Dollar". Unsure if those are the types of songs your looking for but hope they help you! Good Luck! I have both of them on my pc... if you'd like them I can email them to you?
