"Lullaby"

They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

made famous by the Dixie Chicks and one of my favorites.  This lullaby if taken to heart could bring about world peace.

As Scuttle would say we are out to discover! He will tell you about the snarfblat which is really a pipe, or the dinglehopper, Which is really a fork that he says humans use to make their hair aesthetically pleasing. He comes with a cute little snap on scarf and his bill opens so that you can pretend to feed him. The bottom is open for puppeteering and he has cute little wings. His feet are embroidered onto the crochet and he is truly one of a kind with a cute little tail. Double crochet, half double crochets, single crochets, and trebles are the stitches used throughout the making of this little bird. He measures 5" tall by 7" long and he even has nostriles embroidered on. I can hear him singing loudly and off key right now Wa, wa, wa. So cute, a must have toy for your youngster.
