This song was written to the gentle motion of a grandbaby swinging in a baby swing. If you would like to hear me sing it, please visit my website, just below the poem.
Bye oh bye up,
bye oh bye down.
Bye oh bye feet,
way off the ground.
Swing-ing, swing-ing,
I love swing-ing.
Bye oh bye high,
bye oh bye low.
Bye oh bye faster,
look at me go.
Swing-ing, swing-ing,
I love swing-ing.
Bye oh bye flying
up to the sky.
Bye oh bye push me
higher than high.
Swing-ing, swing-ing,
I love swing-ing.
Bye oh bye eyes
are closing now
bye oh bye head
is nodding down
Swing-ing, swing-ing,
I love swing-ing.
Bye oh bye gently,
bye oh bye slow,
bye oh bye, shhhhh,
To sleep I go.
(whispering as swing slows down)
Swing-ing, swing-ing,
I
love
swing-ing.

Wonderful song for children C.J. I can see how easily a child can fall asleep from listening to it; I almost succumbed to sleep reading its melodious words.
Continued success.

OF COURSE, I CLICKED ON THE 'LINK' AND LISTENED TO YOU SINING THIS SONG...IT WAS WONDERFUL! ITS THE SORT OF MELODY THAT STAYS WITH ONE...I CAN STILL HEAR IT. CHARMING AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS & FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
CJ, you make an adorable grandma! Love your song, hope you don't mind my adding a verse: Altogether now...swinging high, swinging low, good thing I don't have any teeth to chatter 'cause them butterflies in my tummy keep on rollin' round and round, sometimes even upsidedown...swinging, swinging high and low... Yeah!
Oh CJ! This so much reminds me of swinging Moira and singing the Monkey Tree song I made up for her. And of course the small head tilting to one side, the singing getting softer so as not to wake her. Thanks for this memory.

Perfect. :) You might not want to know what I was singing on the swing when I was 'bout 8 years old...heard the F bomb word, had NO idea what it meant, was making up a song about it.......cold stone BUSTED from my Mom! She slapped me off that swing...Trust me, I don't like saying that word again!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Thanks for the memories. :)
