DAY 29: A SONG FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD: “I See The Moon” as sung by my mommy.

My mommy sang this to me before bed every night and then would tuck me in and say “good night, good night.”

Oddly enough, there are no videos available of this so instead, here is a clip of the awesome Claire Danes singing it in the film “Evening.”



BTW, I had no idea this was written by Meredith Willson of “The Music Man” fame.
