Merritt really loves to sing and can actually remember most of the words to his favorite songs. A lot of the time he slurs words together because it is more a sound to him than 2 separate words. This results in some pretty funny lyrics on his part. One of the many memories that I love about my childhood is that my mom always sang to me at night and one of my favorites was a Scottish Folk Song. I sing it to Merritt often. Here are the words below if you don't know it. What I love, is that when Merritt wants to hear it he asks for and sings "Bunnies by the Ocean." I wonder what the mental picture he gets looks like!
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me
REFRAIN:
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me
Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead
REFRAIN
Oh blow the winds o'er the ocean
And blow the winds o'er the sea
Oh blow the winds o'er the ocean
And bring back my Bonnie to me
REFRAIN
The winds have blown over the ocean
The winds have blown over the sea
The winds have blown over the ocean
And brought back my Bonnie to me
REFRAIN
