Bird Song: Audrey Weatherstone

Who is the sweet voice behind ‘My Baby Valentine’?
That would be the the delightful Audrey Weatherstone, a Board Certified Music Therapist from Richmond, Virginia. Let’s learn more about Audrey.

When did you first become interested in music?
I have been making music my whole life. I come from a very musical family, and it was just second nature.

What is your favorite genre of music?
As a child I loved Seussical the Musical and the Dixie Chicks! Now I love all music, but especially folk/indie.

What do you love most about music or working in music?
I love being a music therapist because I get to be creative and connect to others in a unique way. Music therapists use music as a tool to work toward non-musical therapeutic goals.

What has been your favorite musical experience of your life?
Recording and releasing my first album in high school with my duo, Moe & Tom.

‘My Baby Valentine’
Lyrics by Shera Sonenberg

I’ve never read the words on a valentine
That express the feeling of holding your tiny fist in mine,
Or the comfort of your breaths as I kiss your cheeks and your nose
Looking at how much you’ve grown

A single perfect rose simply can’t compare
To Your snuggles in our nest as I stroke your hair,
And your giggles as I tickle your tummy and your ten little toes
Oh how I love you so

Chocolates can’t replace your laughter when we play
Or Your smile in the morning when you wake
When you see me
No candy could be so sweet

I See the world now from your bright eyes
Everything has become a wonder every moments a surprise
When I’m with you
Because I love you
You’re too good to be true

I am so happy that you are mine
My baby valentine
My baby valentine
