My Sunshine

Kids
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away...
You are my baby my sweet baby
You need your sleep so close your eyes
Close your eyes and dream your dreams
Go to sleep my baby bye...
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away...
This is what I sing to my kids before they go to sleep. I made up the middle verse when Avary was a tiny little baby. We were on a trip to Florida and I needed her to sleep. As I rocked her and tried to soothe her to sleep, these words came into my head. They stuck and I've been singing them ever since. The only difference is, sometimes in stead of "my baby" I'll say the name of the child I'm singing to. Or, if I'm singing to the twins, I'll say "babies".
