Cash's Lullaby

The other night dear as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

So I bowed my head and cried

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’ll always love you and make you happy

If you will only say the same.

But if you leave me and love another,

You’ll regret it all someday:

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

You told me once dear, you really loved me

And no one else could come between.

But now you have left me and love another

You have shattered all of my dreams

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

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me

When I awake my poor heart pains.

So when you come back and make me happy

I’ll forgive you dear, I’ll take all the blame.

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

--Johnny Cash

I sing this to Cash every night before bed. Why? Because it was the only song I could think of one night and it put Cash right to sleep.  Steven told me he loves that I sing our baby to sleep with a Johnny Cash song. Cash loves it. He falls asleep with a smile on his face.
