Heart Favorite songs that remind you of adoption for aparents

I know there is a thread like this in the birth family support forum. I've enjoyed reading the songs there but thought it would be helpful to start our own thread for aparent songs.

Please share with us your favorite songs.

I'll go first....

Child of Mine
by Emmylou Harris
Album 'Til there Eye's Shine, the Lullaby Album

****************

Although you see the world different than me
Sometimes I can touch upon the wonders that you see
All the new colors and pictures you've designed
Oh yes, sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine
Oh yes, sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine

You don't need direction
you know which way to go
And I don't want to hold you back
I just want to watch you grow
You're the one who taught me
you don't have to look behind
Oh yes sweet darling
so glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine
Oh yes, sweet darling,
So glad you are child of mine

Nobody's gonna to kill your dreams
Or tell you how to live your life
They'll always be people
to make it hard for awhile
But you'll change their heads when
they see you smile.

The time you were born in
may not have been the best
But you can make the times to come
better then the rest
I know you will honest
if you can't always be kind
Oh yes, sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine.

child of mine, child of mine
oh yes, sweet darling
so glad you are a child of mine.
