This is one of our family lullabys…
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy, when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take, my sunshine, away.
I know you’re tired, my darling baby.
It’s time to close up, your little eyes.
It’s off to dreamland, your pillow’s waiting
Now its off, to bed-dy by.
Your Daddy loves you, but he’s a soldier.
He’ll have to go off, to fight the war.
But he’ll be home soon, this I assure you.
Each day he loves, you more, and more.
(or when Daddy is deployed I sing “He had to go…”)
Do you have a bedtime song that you sing to your children?
Our other family favorite is ‘Twinkle twinkle little star’.
