about

The word “snuggle” became my son’s word for nursing. It would be sweet to say that every single moment of nursing was pure bliss, but as all mothers know nursing is not like that. It can be extremely frustrating and it can hurt and make you cry, and for some moms nursing isn’t possible. But we all – all caregivers to kids -- bond with our children skin-to-skin with pickups, hand holding, tending to boo-boos, and with kisses and hugs. For inspiration, I returned to one of my first music loves – Patsy Cline – also one of my father’s favorite singers.

lyrics

Snuggle mama
I’m your snuggle ma-mah
Sweet child, sweet kid, my love
Mama pickup, ma-mah pick up
Let’s hold each other close
Nose to nose

You were born and that was day one
Of being your snuggle ma-mah
Skin to skin, we are kin
I’m always gonna be here for you
Truly and steadfast
My love
For you
Will last

Snuggle mama
I’m your snuggle ma-mah
Sweet child, sweet kid, my love
Mama pickup, ma-mah pick up
Let’s hold each other tight
By and by

I’ve held you along from teeny baby to toddler
Loved watching you grow but some days are slow
Looking back it’s all been too fast
But, I’m always gonna be here for you
Truly and steadfast
My love
For you
Will last

Snuggle mama
I’m your snuggle ma-mah
Sweet child, sweet kid, my love
Mama pickup, ma-mah pick up
Let’s keep each other warm
Arm in arm

Snuggle mama
I’m your snuggle ma-mah
Sweet child, sweet kid, my love
Mama pickup, ma-mah pick up
Let’s hold each other close
Nose to nose

Snuggle mama
I’m your snuggle ma-mah
Sweet child, sweet kid, my love
Mama pickup, ma-mah pick up
Let’s hold each other tight
By and by
Let’s keep each other warm
Arm in arm
Truly and steadfast
My love
For you
Will last
