Row Row Row, July 2016 edition

After many nights of improvisation, I have a variation of AJ's favourite song "Row Row Row Your Boat" that I quite like. (A photo of the inspiration follows at the bottom.)


Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream

Row row row your boat
Out into the bay
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Dreaming all the way

Row row row your boat
On the ocean waves
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Love our hearts will save

Row row row your boat
Through the afternoon
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Till the rising moon

Row row row your boat
O'er the darkening deep
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Nights of peaceful sleep

Row row row your boat
Toward the evening star
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Love will take us far

Row row row your boat
Gently through the night
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
All your dreams take flight

Row row row your boat
Beneath the Milky Way
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Shooting stars at play

Row row row your boat
Toward the rising sun
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Days of love and fun

Row row row your boat
On the sea so blue
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
You're my dream come true.

    1. Thanks :-) all her little songs (there have been a few, not all written down) say something about who she is at the moment. I will always remember Row Row as the first song she knew by name to request (also Itsy Bitsy Spider)

  2. I love this!!! So sweet! I have some songs I've made up for Olivia too. I really should write them down.

    1. Yes, do write down your songs! Because you will forget. I've written down some. I should write down the one I would sing prior to this one: never really settled on one version though, it was a lot more free form. Glad you enjoyed.

  3. Oh, I love this song! Such a sweet lullabye or play song for your sweet AJ. I love the photo at the end, just pulls it all together. Just lovely.

  4. Amazing! No wonder AJ begs for you to sing to her.

  5. I love your new verses. Funny how I've made up so many random words to songs that I sing over and over.

    1. Thanks! I make up my own words all the time lol. With Row Row I was just bored singing the same thing.
