This Valentine’s Day Send Love Through Song

Do you love somebody? Bet you do. We all have someone special in our lives.  Singing songs is a way to express our love and affection.  Children in particular respond to catchy tunes when sung by their loved one.   Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to give the gift of song.   One of my favorite songs for young children  is “Love Somebody” from the Kids’ MusicRound RoseRound collection. Through this fun melody, we are singing words to affirm our love. It’s a simple catchy tune that does so much with these simple repetitive phrases.

Love somebody, yes I do.
Love somebody, yes I do.
Love somebody, yes I do.
Love somebody, but I won’t tell who!

Love somebody, can’t guess who!
Love somebody, can’t guess who!
Love somebody, can’t guess who!
Love somebody, and it might be you!

It’ so easy to substitute “somebody” with mommy, daddy, sister, brother, doggie, or any other endearing special loved one in your child’s life. When I began teaching Kids’ MusicRound my three children were in preschool. We often made up words to these songs. “Love Somebody” was given a new twist so I could sing them a special song on Valentine’s Day. Here it is, so you can sing it too.

You’re so pretty/handsome,
You’re so bright.
You’re so strong and filled with might.
You’re so gentle,
You’re so fair.
You’re so very debonair!

You’re my child,
You’re my gift.
You’re my teddy bear to lift.
You’re my flower,
You’re my vine.
You’re my special Valentine!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
