putting Joaqui to sleep

If there is one "bisyo" that our son Joaqui has up to now, it is the need to sing him a lullabye before he goes to sleep. He also loves to be rocked and cradled. Well this is not a hard thing to do if he does not weigh 12.5 kg at 15 months (we were told by his pediatrician that he weighs as much as a 2-1/2-year-old). Anyway, when he was still a baby and up to now, there is one song that never fails to put him to sleep and that is the song "You" by the Carpenters. Mommy is the only one who sings this song for Joaqui and it has sort of become our theme song. After putting him to sleep, I would carefully watch him and dream all sort of things about him.

You are the one who makes me happy

When everything else turns to grey

Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings

and sends me out into the day

You are the crowd that sits quiet

Listening to me

and all of the mad sense I make

You are one of a few things worth remembering

and since it's all true

How can anyone mean more to me than you

Sorry if sometimes I look past you

There's no one beyond your eyes

Inside my head, the wheels are turning

and sometimes I'm not so wise

You are my heart and my soul, my inspiration

Just like the old love song goes

You are one of a few things worth remembering

and since it's all true

How can anyone mean more to me than you
