Return To Pooh Corner.


Hello My Darlings,
Do you know who the guy in the photo is? Don't stress if you don't I didn't either!
He is Kenny Loggins and he wrote the theme tune to Footloose the film that starred Kevin Bacon. Any way he also wrote a lovely little song called "return to pooh corner".
I found a sweet little You Tube today and thought I would share it with you.
I had Liz and Mel in mind when I saw it, they are both doting Nana's.



Kenny Loggins' House At Pooh Corner was a big hit for Loggins and Messina in the 1970's. In 1993 Kenny wrote an additional verse for his son, and re-released the song as Return to Pooh Corner on his best-selling recording of kids' songs. I found the lyrics so you can all sing-a-long


Christopher Robin and I walked along Under branches lit up by the moon Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore As our days disappeared all too soon But I've wandered much further today than I should And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood So help me if you can I've got to get back To the House at Pooh Corner by one You'd be surprised There's so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do Got a honey jar stuck on his nose He came to me asking help and advice From here no one knows where he goes So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear Help me if you can I've got to get back To the House at Pooh Corner by one You'd be surprised There's so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh It's hard to explain how a few precious things Seem to follow throughout all our lives After all's said and done I was watching my son Sleeping there with my bear by his side So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going I swear that the old bear whispered "Boy welcome home" Believe me if you can I've finally come back To the House at Pooh Corner by one What do you know There's so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin Back to the ways of Christopher Robin Back to the days of Pooh

  1. I knew who he was! I had a poster of him hanging in my dorm room in college. Made all the girls on floor jealous:o) Aw those were the days!

    And don't think I didn't automatically break into humming it--cuz I did! :-)

    Thank you, thank you.
    I can't think of a happier tune to end my day with.

  4. Hey Lia, I've just started a new social network if you want to check it out. And if you still have any enthusiasm left for these things I'd love to hear your ideas
