what do you think by far is the best song representing a parent's love for a child?

Answer 1

"Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle
"I Loved Her First" by Heartland
"My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw

Answer 2

Paul Simon had a song out earlier this year called Father and Daughter with the most beautiful lyrics.

If you leap awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You cant remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling star

I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
And though I cant guarantee
Theres nothing scary hiding under your bed
I’m gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you
With a sweet dream in your head

Im gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So youll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition
Its just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you get a bite
But you dont need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night

Im gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So youll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Im gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So youll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Of course if its a son you're talking about that's not gonna work!!!

Answer 3

NO CHARGE
Recorded by Melba Montgomery and Tammy Wynette.
Writer: Harlan Howard

Recitation:

My little boy came up to me
In the kitchen this evening
While I was fixing supper
And he handed me a piece of paper
He'd been writing on
And after wiping my hands on my apron
I read it and this is what it said:

For mowing the yard - five dollars
For making my own bed this week - one dollar
Going to the store - fifty cents
Playing with little brother
While you went to the store - twenty-five cents
Taking out the trash - one dollar
Getting a good report card - five dollars
And for raking the yard - two dollars

Total owed - fourteen seventy-five

Well, I looked at him standing there expectantly
And a thousand memories flashed through my mind
And so I picked up the pen and turning the paper over
This is what I wrote:

For nine months I carried you
Growing inside me - NO CHARGE
For the nights I've sat up with you
Doctored you, prayed for you - NO CHARGE
For the time and the tears
That you cost through the years
There's NO CHARGE
When you add It all up
The full cost of my love is NO CHARGE

For the nights filled with dread
And the worries ahead, NO CHARGE
For the advice and knowledge
And the cost of your college - NO CHARGE
For the toys, food and clothes
And for wiping your nose
There's NO CHARGE
When you add It all up
The full cost of my love is NO CHARGE

Recitation:
Well, when he finished reading
He had great big old tears in his eyes
And he looked up at me and said
"Mom, I sure do love you."
Then he took the pen
And in great big letters he wrote: "Paid In full"

Answer 4

Title: Child of Mine

Words and music by Bill Staines,
© 1992 Mineral River Music

Words:

Child of mine, you are the wildest wind
And the dearest dream I will ever know.
Love's lasting light shines out from deep
Within this father's heart as I watch you grow.

Child of mine, you are the break of dawn
and the brightest star I will ever know
Love's lasting light comes shining on and on
From this mother's heart as I watch you grow.

There is a road, and that road is all your own
But we are here, you need not walk alone.
To face, not fear each coming new unknown
Is the way to lift your wings.

Child of mine, you are the sweetest song
And the greatest gift I will ever know.
Child of mine, where spirits fly above
There is but one that belongs to you.

So let it grow and it will thrive on love
For it is love that sees us through.
You have hands that will open up the doors,
You may have the hopes this world is waiting for,

You are my own, but you are so much more
You are tomorrow on the wing, child of mine.

Answer 5

I absolutely love this one.

To Zion by Lauren Hill

Unsure of what the balance held
I touched my belly overwhelmed
By what I had been chosen to perform
But then an angel came one day
Told me to kneel down and pray
For unto me a man child would be born
Woe this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
Look at your career they said,
"Lauryn, baby use your head"
But instead I chose to use my heart

Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion

How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
See life for you my prince has just begun
And I thank you for choosing me
To come through unto life to be
A beautiful reflection of his grace
See I know that a gift so great
Is only one God could create
And I'm reminded every time I see your face

That the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion

Marching, marching, marching to Zion
Marching, marching
Marching, marching, marching to Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
(repeat to end of song)

But I also love.

In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina Mcbride

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
