(song my mom sang to me when I was waking up)
Good morning merry sunshine
what makes you wake so soon?
You scared away the little stars
and shone away the moon
(a verse we wrote for the afternoon)
Good day my merry sunshine
I hope your nap was grand
There's so much life to live today
So come and take my hand.
You are my SUNSHINE
(with substitute last line)
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are grey
you'll never know dear how much I love you
(keep on shining your light everyday)
Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun
Shine your light on me
Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun
Hiding behind a tree
Mom and baby want to ask of you
Please come out so they can play with you
Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun
Shine your light on me
Shine, Shine, Shine
Shine your light on me
Shine, Shine, Shine
Shine your light on me
(Disney, from Song of the South)
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay My, oh, my, what a wonderful day Plenty of sunshine headin' my way Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder It's the truth, it's "actch'll" Everything is "satisfactch'll"
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it stomp your feet
If you're happy and you know it shout hooray
(see link for all Lyrics)
(I gathered real leaves from the ground and when we sang this I threw the leaves up in the air and watched them fall down.)
Leaf little leaf way high up in the tree
In summer you were green
and now you're brown
Leaf little leaf way high up in the tree
I'll be here to catch you when you fall down
fall down, fall down, the leaves are falling (repeat)
