Oh yes, a new addition to my New Mommy compilation of 80's tunes, its "Hold Me Now" by the Thompson Twins. Seems as if this is my 6 week old son's mantra. He wants to be held from 5pm until we get him down for the "night" which is 4 hours of my eyes rolling into the back of my head whilst the young prince sleeps.
All you mommies out there, do the lyrics below evoke fond memories of spending hours, during what were your quite evenings with your husband, bouncing the babe feverishly on the yoga ball or papoosing them to your chest with one of your myriad of baby slings in a desperate attempt to quell their cries?
You ask if I love you. What can I say
You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play
So I sing you a new song. Please don't cry any more.
I'd ask your forgiveness though I don't know just what I'm asking it for
(Oh oh oh oh) Hold me now
(Whoa) Warm my heart
Stay with me, let loving start (let loving start)
I think going forward I'll give the gift of song at baby showers and download the collection of 80's tunes whose lyrics are in fact art mimicking the life of a new mom. I always did like making mixed tapes in junior high.
