This song talks about how amazing the day was but that it is now the time for us to sleep and to think about all the wonderful things we will do tomorrow. It says to not be sad that this day is come to its end but to think instead about. "all those kisses saved only for daddy" that you can give to him tomorrow.

I often think about how though my daughter will be born and raised in the same city I was, she will grow up in a completely different Christchurch than the one I grew up in. It sometimes makes me sad to think of not being able to show her some of the buildings I lived in, or worked in, or some of the places I loved to spend time. And when I think of the Earthquake I wonder if I will ever be able to convey to her what we have experienced as a city and as a people.
But what I do know, however, is she will have the utterly unique experience of growing up in a city that daily grows from the ground up with her, and that is something to be excited about.

I wrote this song this morning to sing to Harper today, on the second anniversary of our life changing Earthquake on February 22nd. It baffles me how much life has changed in the past two years, in ways big and small. Motherhood is certainly one of the bigger ways!

This recording is rough around the edges, and features backing noises from the gorgeous Harper. But I hope you and your children enjoy this wee song. Love to all the Christchurch mums xxxx

This music is an adaptation of two beautiful children songs “AuClaire de la Lune and Une Chanson” put together to become one and be twice as delightful. 

I wrote this song when Harper (my little girl- now 6 months) was a couple of months old. I can’t tell you how many times I have sung it now but I still love singing it to her as she drifts off to sleep. I hope you enjoy.
