Weston Deane
Hi Weston, my man!! You are now 6 + years old and visiting during Thanksgiving. I wrote this song when you were born. Below are the lyrics to the song (I based the music and tune of the Ballad of Davy Crockett, a song which was my very favorite when I was a child!!)
The first track is the song on the flute (se below for notes); the second track is my singing it with the lyrics I wrote for you:
You were born during the Days of Awe, and I wrote you saying I was Papa Ki Tao in awe!!
I love you so much, my special guy! 🙂
