Then Stuart closed the show with a rousing chorus of "You are My Sunshine", John Sheard pounding it out on the piano and Matt Andersen leading the vocals. Tears came to my eyes, as I remembered...
I used to sing this song to my kids when they were little, often when tucking them into bed at night. They were very young when I did this, so it's doubtful they will remember...but even now at 28 and 32...they are indeed my sunshine.
If you know it, sing along....and have a sunny day!

Amen! My Babe is MY Sunshine too and I tell her often, even though she is all grownup. She is my great joy ! Aren't we fortunate women, Margaret!
I used to sing it to my kids too. It does put a lump in my throat to remember those precious days and think about how blessed I am to have such sunshine in my life.
Heartwarmingly interesting. While I have absolutely NO recollection of you singing these songs to either of us, I DO remember Anne Murray's version on her children's album, and downloaded the iTunes version several years ago--it's a song I enjoy even as an adult, and I think I can guess why :)
What's even more interesting is that I used to sing this song to S when she was a baby, to try and get her to sleep.
And on it goes.
