Tunes stuck in my head

It’s happened to us all. A tune pops into our head, sometimes for no apparent reason, and can remain there for a few moments or even a few days. We may enjoy it at first, but if it remains too long it can become maddening. A couple of tunes popped into my head a few days ago, they are still there, I know the reason, and I’m still enjoying them.

The first tune – This Little Light of Mine;  the reason –  Layla.

Layla is our fourth granddaughter, another little light in our lives that started to shine July 3, 2008. Amber and Brian are the ones who are responsible for turning on this little light and they have been pretty radiant themselves since flipping the switch. Layla is a little light, but not too light – she weighs nearly seven pounds.

As we were sitting in the waiting area at the hospital prior to her arrival, that song just popped into my head – This little light of mine – it’s still there – I’m gonna let it shine – it’s okay if it stays a while longer – this little light of mine – I listened to it on our Raffi CD in the car – I’m gonna let it shine – and it might even get stuck in your head too – This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine , let it shine, let it shine

Oh yeah, the other song? Layla.

Layla, you’ve got me on my knees.
Layla, I’m begging darling please…
