Wyatt's Song

I have been singing "Godspeed" (Dixie Chicks) to Wyatt since he was born. Its our "goodnight song" or as he calls it "the rocket racer song"
Tonight I was putting Emma down (whom I've only ever sang Twinkle Twinkle to) and I asked him if he would like to say goodnight to sister, he comes in and tells me to sing the rocket racer song. I said "That's your song though, you don't mind?" He said "No, we can share the song." So I said, I'll sing it to her if you sing with me. That child sang the entire song relatively loudly and without missing a beat. I cried. Number one- Wyatt doesn't sing. Number two- I sing the song all the time, but I'm never sure if he actually paid attention. Number three-he shared something that even I labeled exclusively his.
I'm touched. That was a great moment.

Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirate's sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you

Godspeed, little man Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly
to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed Sweet dreams

The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, will find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed, little man Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly
to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you

God speed, little man, Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed Sweet dreams
