You'll never walk alone

This is another favourite song to sing to J - the tune flows naturally from 'You raise me up' to make up an 'inspirational' medley. Yet somehow I never can get the beginning of the second verse in tune.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone


(by Rodgers, Hammerstein)

This song is also the anthem of the Liverpool Football Club, which happens to be my brother's favourite club. When I was very small I had the impression that Liverpool was a swimming pool that was full of barnacles. If that isn't odd enough, it appears that my brother's daughter, who is almost 3, also thinks along the same lines. Her favourite club is 'swimming pool'.
