[hotcakekimmy]

i am looking for a suitable song for my brother to sing to my son at his christening (his nephew) does anyone know any good songs about familys or, a love for a child, or just any moving songs that could relate to this? plz plz plz help x

[Toni Blaire]

How about Two Little Boys ?

[eddiebun]

Maybe a little obscure - but a beautiful song

The Divine Comedy - Charmed Life

sample lyrics

When I hold you in my arms
And look back on my charmed life, my charmed life,
I hope, baby I hope if nothing more
That one day you'll call your life a charmed life.

[Alibobs]

When a child is born - Johnny Mathis

or Luther Vandross - Dance with my father again - a very moving family song but may not be right for a christening

[robbo82]

Cat Stevens- Father and Son

Barenaked Ladies- When you Dream

[Philtaz]

For Your Babies by Simply Red.

[LouBoo]

Stevie Wonder - 'Isn't She Lovely' - substituting all the female words for male ones! x

[ericthemini]

Ben by M Jackson, you can always change the name to fit.

[che guevara]

Must be "Imagine" by John Lennon.Giving hope that your son will grow up in peace.

"I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one"

thank you all for helping me, my final choice has been................your song- elton john and forever young xxxxxxx

[Tracybabes]

Excellent choice - Forever Young!!
After years of my dad hounding me to listen to Bob Dylan I recently discovered how beautiful this song actually is. I was standing over my new baby boy dancing and singing like I do every day when this song came on..Couldn't have found a more poignant moment to realise what my dad's being going on about...Found myself in floods of tears.. What a fantastic choice and hope your day is VERY special x
