What is your favorite song someone wrote about their own child?

Asked by Emilyy (2133points) February 29th, 2008

So many people write cute songs about their kids. I’ve been listening to “Gracie” by Ben Folds a lot and I was wondering what other songs people like that are written about or for singer/songwriters’ kids.
