Song to my children

My theme song to my children for this morning:

How can I miss you if you won’t go away?
far far away from me.
How can I grieve, if you won’t leave?
And how can I shed a tear, if you’re still here?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
so they say.
Let’s see if that old saying still holds true today.
I’ll sadly sigh
as we say goodbye.
I’ll miss you more than words can say,
but how can I miss you if you won’t go away?
So go way my darling and please don’t delay.
And my heart will grow fonder each hour you’re away.

The kids have been in my face this morning, in case you can’t tell. Large portions of my brain have been trying to figure out how I can get away from them and from my house for awhile so that I can be glad to come back and be nice to them. I haven’t figured it out yet, so instead I’ve been playing the above song on my Vocal Point cd. It has been cathartic to sing along.

  1. *snicker* You poor thing. You have my sympathies.

    There’s always asking Howard to watch them for a couple of hours so you can get a few minutes of sanity-break. Go read a book or just browse or sit for a while, stuff like that.

  3. It is a real song. I’m not sure who the original artist is, but I have a version sung by BYU’s acapella group Vocal Point on their album Instruments Not Included.

  5. Laughing out loud, indeed

    Thanks for sharing this, Sandra!
    It really made me laugh out loud, as I can understand these feelings very well. Just one of those days … 😉
