An entry of sorts


Mr. Man has gone from this:





To this:





Austin is my only true "baby", and I'm somewhat sad he isn't a baby, nor toddler, but a bright little preschooler, who can sing, with all the proper lyrics "you are my sunshine" and make his Mother tear up. I have it on my ipod, sung by screecing weasels and he and I sing it to each other while we take our evening walk.
When I was a teenager, and somewhat sullen, my sister would sing the same to me, and when my uncle died, we sang it to each other.
On Sunday, My sister called and I handed the phone to Austin, and he sang it to Amber.
She cried.
I am doubting this will be read, as I neglect my journal, but I want to remember this.

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 hung my head and I 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 some day:

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 not you've 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
