Who sung it and whats the name of the song....?

[MustangLady]

When my niece was a baby, my sister used to play a sweet song from (i think) a famous artist at the time (to give idea of time scale, my niece is now 15). My sister cannot remember the song or artist. My dearest friend has just had her baby and i want to get this song for her. It is sung by a woman and is sort of a lullaby very soft singing. Its as though she is singing to her own baby by the way it is sung. Sorry not much to go on.... i'm still pestering my sister to remember who and what it was. Please can anyone help me?

I doubt its the song you are thinking of but below is the link for Madonna - Dear Jessie. Its still a great song even if its not the one you are thinking of.

just thought it could be Madonna's "This used to be my Playground".

Thank you all... but these are not the song (though some great ones there). I'll just have to keep on to my sister to go through her 'old' cassette collection (it was 15 years ago).
