My Little One, My Sunshine
Children's sing-along lullaby with a folk-country sway: acoustic guitar and ukulele at a slow, easy tempo, with a warm parent's voice. Loving and a little bittersweet, sung in English, about how a little one is the sunshine that lights up every gray day.
Lyrics
Outside the window, the clouds are all lead.The birds stayed in bed, and the morning is dead.But here in this room, where the covers are soft,The dark of the winter is already off.I look at your face and the way that you sleep,A secret of light that I’m lucky to keep.The world might be cold and the puddles are deep,But you are the promise that I’m gonna keep.You’re my sunshine.When the sky is heavy and blue.You’re my sunshine.Just the simple, sweet sight of you.You’re my sunshine.You turn the gray into bright.You’re my sunshine.My little morning light.One day you’ll grow and you’ll walk on your own.Into the places that I haven't known.The storms they might gather, the wind it might blow,And maybe I won't be wherever you go.But keep that small spark tucked away in your chest,For when you are weary and looking for rest.It’s a bit bittersweet how the time starts to fly,But you brought the summer to my rainy sky.You’re my sunshine.When the sky is heavy and blue.You’re my sunshine.Just the simple, sweet sight of you.You’re my sunshine.You turn the gray into bright.You’re my sunshine.My little morning light.Rest your eyes, little wonder.Let the rain tap the roof.While the world stays out under,I have all of the proof.That the day can be beautiful, even in gray.As long as you’re here, at the end of the day.You’re my sunshine.When the sky is heavy and blue.You’re my sunshine.Just the simple, sweet sight of you.You’re my sunshine.You turn the gray into bright.You’re my sunshine.My little morning light.My little morning light.Go to sleep now.Sunshine.
