While she was sitting on the potty before getting ready for bed she started singing the chorus.
"I sing because I'm happy! I sing because I..." she paused thinking about what the next word might be.
"DO!" she decided (the real words are "I sing because I'm happy! I sing because I'm free!").
She sang it that way for the next few minutes: "I sing because I'm happy! I sing because I do!"
She was sweet enough to let me record her singing (if I promised I would send the videos to Naanii).
Nice singing, Phoebe! What a pretty voice!
ReplyDeleteI love that song. I go around singing that chorus on occasion. I don't hear it much as most churches here play a bunch of contemporary songs, but I remember hearing that one growing up. What a great song to sing today.
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm freeeeeee
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me.
Great reminder during these awful times in our country, too!
