Our bedtime song...

What seems like ages ago, in the Somerset Grand Hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam, after Hai and I had been together about 48 hours he was awake and crying from his ear infection and I was singing every song I could think of to calm him down. It was about 2am, and my brain was running on adrenaline and jet lag. There was one song that finally worked, and I've sung it to him just about every night since then. I'm not sure if it's our "adoption song", but it's definitely one that he will know when he gets older. I hope he appreciates the irony that it comes from deep in my 80's heavy metal memory banks...


Title:Scorpions - Holiday
This is lyrics from www.lyrics007.com
Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics:klaus meine

Let me take you far away
You’d like a holiday
Let me take you far away
You’d like a holiday
Exchange the cold days for the sun
A good time and fun
Let me take you far away
You’d like a holiday

Let me take you far away
You’d like a holiday
Let me take you far away
You’d like a holiday

Exchange your troubles for some love
Wherever you are
Let me take you far away
You’d like a holiday

Longing for the sun you will come
To the island without name
Longing for the sun be welcome
On the island many miles away from home
Be welcome on the island without name
Longing for the sun you will come
To the island many miles away from home
