Birthmoms....What Song Is "Your" song?
I was just wondering, for those of you who have one, what song did you think of at your time of placement, as "your song" about or to your child(baby), and if you have one now, is it still the same or do you have another that brings back memories or thoughts of your bchild?
For me, in 86 when my daughter was born and there were two songs that made me think of her... One was "I miss you" by Klimaxx and the other was "I will always Love you" by Dolly Pardon...and of course the remake by Whitney (of course these still make me cry even today) Now I have a couple of others that take me back and make me wonder... "Ever the same" by Rob Thomas and "Voice inside my head" by the Dixie Chicks...thanks to some recommendations by others  I know that not all the lyrics make sense, but they hit home for me...just thought it'd be nice to share Looking forward to hearing yours too!

For me the two songs were, Somewhere out There from Linda Rhondstad, and Separate Lives Phil Colins, The second song was actually playing as the govt, worker came in to tell me my son was at that moment a ward of the court. Since meeting my son, he cant believe how connected the songs are to our situation.
Lisasue Good Question!

I hope it's ok that I as an amom answer for my children's first mom .............
Her song to our son is "One More Day" by Diamond Rio. Each and every time I (And she) hear it, I cry, still, five years later. We were in the car together on the way to the hospital for her to deliver our daughter and when it came on the radio, I pulled over and the two of us just bawled in each other's arms. Last night I had a crazy dream A wish was granted just for me It could be for anything I didnt ask for money Or a mansion in malibu I simply wished, for one more day with you Chorus One more day One more time One more sunset, maybe Id be satisfied But then again I know what it would do Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you First thing Id do, is pray for time to crawl Then Id unplug the telephone And keep the tv off Id hold you every second Say a million I love yous Thats what Id do, with one more day with you Chorus Leave me wishing still, for one more day Leave me wishing still, for one more day

I have a few:
Hey You by The Clarks (pittsburgh band) If you're gonna jump Hey you, hang on If you feel like giving up Hey you, hang on I won't forget today The sun is bright the sky is blue The pain will go away In another year or two If you got a phone Hey you, call home If you got a voice Hey you, rejoice I won't forget today The sun is bright the sky is blue I won't forget to pray Day is night the world is new The pain will go away In another year or two In a hundred years or two (At end chorus) In a thousands years or two If you're gonna fly Hey you, don't cry You gotta live to die Hey you, goodbye And Stay or Leave by Dave Matthews (solo): Maybe different, but remember Winters warm there you and I, Kissing whiskey by the fire With the snow outside And when the summer comes The river swims at midnight Shiver cold Touch the bottom, you and I with muddy toes Stay or leave I want you not to go But you should It was good, as good goes Stay or leave I want you not to go But you did Wake up naked drinking coffee, Making plans to change the world While the world is changing us... It was good good love. You used to laugh under the covers Maybe not so often now But the way I used to laugh with you Was loud and hard Stay or leave I want you not to go But you should It was good as good goes Stay or leave I want you not to go But you did So what to do With the rest of the day's afternoon, hey Isn't it strange how we change Everything we did Did I do all that i should That I could'a done Remember we used to dance And everyone wanted to be You and me I want to be too What day is this Besides the day you left me? What day is this Besides the day you went? So what to do With the rest of the day's afternoon, hey Well isn't it strange how we change Everything we did Did I do all that I could? Remember we used to dance And everyone wanted to be you and me I want to be too What day is this Besides the day you went babe What day is this? Besides the day you left me What day is this? And, also by Dave Matthews (solo), Baby: Baby, It's alright Stop your cryin' now Nothing is here to stay Everything has to begin and end A ship in a bottle won't sail All we can do is dream that the wind will blow us across the water A ship in a bottle set sail Baby, It's alright Stop your cryin' now There was a weakling man who dreamed he was strong as a hurricane A ship in a bottle set sail He took a deep breath and blew across the world he watched everything crumble woke up a weakling again Some might tell you there's no hope in hand just because they feel hopeless but you don't have to be a thing like that You'll be a ship in a bottle set sail Baby' It's alright stop your cryin' now It's alright so stop your cryin' now You'll be a ship in a bottle set sail I used to sing the last one to her while she was still in the womb. Sigh.

Breathe - Melissa Etheridge
I played the fool today
I just dream of vanishing into the crowd Longing for home again Home, is a feeling I buried in you I'm alright, I'm alright It only hurts when I breathe And I can't ask for things to be still again No I can't ask if I could walk through the world in your eyes Longing for home again Home, is a feeling I buried in you I'm alright, I'm alright It only hurts when I breathe I'm alright, I'm alright It only hurts when I breathe My window through which nothing hides And everything sees I'm counting the signs and cursing the miles in between Home Home, is a feeling I buried in you, that I buried in you I'm alright, I'm alright It only hurts when I breathe I'm alright, I'm alright It only hurts when I breathe, when I breathe Yeah, it only hurts when I breathe, when I breathe Oh,it only hurts when I breathe

"Truly" and especially "My Endless Love" by Lionel Ritchie
My songs for my dear daughter when I placed her back in 1984 were "Truly and "My Endless Love" by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross. These spoke in Heeeeeaps how I felt for my daughter.
I'm truly, truly in love with you girl, I'm truly, truly head over heals for you love.. I need you....and with your love I'm free... (A deeply emotional song)...cried and cried Your eyes your eyes, They tell me how much you care... Ohhhh yesss...you will always BEeeeeee... My Endless Love.. (deeply beautiful child with enormous, gorgeous eyes) Neither of these songs were to be looked upon as My daughter caring for me...but...how Much I cared for her. Also -- A Christmas Song by Karen Carpenter Christmas cards have all been sent... The Christmas rush is through, I have only one gift to give.. Especially fooooorrr youuu... Merry Christmas darling We're apart it's true, But..everyday in my dreams I'm Christmasing with youuu.. Holidays are joyful There's always something new... something or other somthing or other! I'm Christmasing with you.. All the lights on my tree, They sing to me, They sing it everyday... Logs on the fire Fill me with desire To see you and to saaaaay... That I WISH you a Merry Christmas Happy New Year, too Just one wish on this Christmas Eve.. I wish I were with you.. I wish I were with you... Merry Merry Merry Christmas... Merry Chirstmas... Darrrrrrrlllllinnnngggg..... Now, I'm gonna goo cryyyy....how I love her.

Such great songs!
I'm one of those people who always analyzes songs, I have a song for everything and everyone, LOL!! So I'm loving this post When I placed "Tears in Heaven" was the huge cry song, my roommate had broken up with her high school sweetheart so we played that on loop the few weeks before I had my DD.(we weren't the most happy room in the dorm, LOL!) That song is special to my daughter's a-mom too, I remember talking about it with her while she was with me in the labor room, so that song always gets me. Especially at that time of year. "I Remember You " by Sarah McLaughlin is another one that hit me when it came out, especially since at that time, I wasn't very open with my feelings, I was still holding back, so that line that goes "Funny how you feel so much, but cannot say a word." that really resonated with me. A few years ago, when I first started to toy with the idea of reestablishing contact, "One Thing" by Finger Eleven had just come out and it used to make me thing of my DD. Also "Pictures of You" by the Cure, because that's all I had for so long was just her pics of her first year. Now that I've started contact with her a-mom , there are a few songs that remind me. Most of the Fray album, but there is this one song called "Trust Me" and the chorus basically goes "When you're older, you will understand" That lyric stands out for me. Also the Nick Lachey song "What's Left of Me", everytime I heard that song this summer it reminded me of DD. And yes, Tom Petty's "The Waiting is the Hardest Part": Love that song right now That's just off the top of my head! Give me a day or two, I could comeup with more, I 'm sure, LOL

I have quite a few songs and seem to find new ones as I go too.
The ones I think of right off though are: In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride The Distance by Evan and Jaron Somewhere Out There from American Tale and I have a lot of others, but those are the ones that come to mind right off the bat. Anne
