Forever and always robert munsch6/8/2023 On his website, Munsch says that’s exactly how it should be and that he loves hearing how other people sing it. As he says on his website, “parents buy it for grandparents and grandparents buy it for parents and kids buy it for everybody and everybody buys it for kids.”Įveryone sings this song in their own tune. Since 1986, it has sold over 15 million copies. His regular publisher didn’t think it made a very good children’s book so declined to publish it. It was a big part of his grief journey.Įventually, he decided to share the song and came up with a story to go with it. Every time he tried to sing it out loud, he would start to cry. He would sing it to himself, silently, when he thought of his children who he’d never get to know. Robert Munsch wrote the song in Love You Forever for his two babies who were stillborn. I didn’t understand why such a comical writer would write such a strange and sad story.īut then I read about where the song came from.Īnd just thinking about it has me in tears again. Robert Munsch’s work is mostly silly and quirky and fun. The song was pretty, but the story was a weird and kind of creepy. I’ve never really liked Love You Forever.
