These were the words that my mother sang to each one of her grandchildren the first time she met them after their births. She didn't live to meet my son, so I sang it to him on her behalf. Then I sang it to my first grandchild. Thank you for evoking such a sweet and strong memory for me.
I used to sing this to my daughter.. it's a classic! ;)
