When Porter goes down for a nap or bed David or I always sing him songs. For his nap today I sang a new one, "Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight".
Well, Porter must have really been listening to the lyrics because after I sang the chorus a few times, he looked at me with the saddest eyes, his lip quivered and next thing I knew he had huge crocodile tears running down his face. It was the saddest thing ever. He has never, ever done this before when I sang him a song. Then again tonight for bed he kept saying "heart", so I asked if he wanted me to sing the Goodnight Sweetheart song and he said yes. I didn't even get through the first line and once again, huge crocodile tears. I will not be singing this song again. His little brain works too much and clearly it is distressing to him.
Chorus Lyrics:
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.
