My Sunshine from Midwestern Daughter by Haley E Rydell

I think of you
When the wind blows through the trees
You’re on my mind
When the water’s calm enough to swim
Every morning
As the birds sing right outside our window
I long for the moment when our life can
begin

You might not have my smile
Your eyes won’t look like mine
The tone of our skin might not align
But I’ll give you my affection
I’ll give you all my time
I’ll make sure that you’re loved
You’ll be my sunshine

You’ll be the reason
I wake up every morning
If you want I’ll read you
The same story every night
If you are hurtin
I promise I’ll make it all better
I’m gonna love you with all my might

You might not have my smile
Your eyes won’t look like mine
The tone of our skin might not align
But I’ll give you my affection
I’ll give you all my time
I’ll make sure that you’re loved
You’ll be my sunshine

So Long as I’m living don’t be afraid
You’ll be my sunshine I’ll be your shade
So Long as I’m living darling don’t be afraid
You’ll be my sunshine I’ll be your shade

I’m gonna try to make you pancakes every Sunday
You’re gonna love
your other mom’s lemonade
I swear I’ll take you
To Fish Lake Road on the weekends
We’ll play in the sunshine,
And we’ll rest in shade

You might not have my smile
Your eyes won’t look like mine
The tone of our skin might not align
But I’ll give you my affection
I’ll give you all my time
I’ll make sure that you’re loved
You’ll be my sunshine
You’ll be my sunshine
