So as I stepped out of the shower 20 minutes ago I heard the 4 year old singing in my bedroom. Earlier today I had introduced him to some Van Morrison in the car and he quickly picked up on the chorus for ‘Days Like This’. He is beginning to sing along in the car more and more. He is particularly fond of Weezer at the moment.

So anyway, I am getting dressed and I pick up on the fact that he isn’t singing any song I have heard before. He is making it up. So I point out that he could maybe be a song writer someday (I like to do this on occasion so he knows what his options might be down the road). He, of course, tells me he can’t do that because he can’t write…

He is so literal.

So I crawl into bed with him and ask him to teach me the song. He starts and I ask him if he would like me to write it down for him. He agrees that this is an excellent idea.

So I would like to share the song with you. Please be aware that I did no coaching or leading. In fact several times he pointed at the paper indicating that I should be writing when I was not. So here it is.

Today and Tomorrow

I will be here for you

You can stay (3)

Today and tomorrow

You will be here for me

There’s something special about you

Today and Tomorrow

I don’t know where you are

We will sing with you

And we will be here with you

Today and Tomorrow

You can stay (3)

We were here

You don’t remember

Way up in the clouds

And I will be here for you and me

There’s something special about you

Today and Tomorrow

We were there

We were there

And we might stay up in the clouds

I will be here for you.

Words and music by The 4 Year Old.
