My Song for Jonathan

A couple of months before Kaitlyn was born, I heard the Darius Rucker song, "It Won't Be Like This For Long", for the first time.  I posted about it here.  It was written about his daughter and how fast her childhood was going to fly by so he was going to cherish every moment.  It immediately struck a chord with Ron and I as we would soon be embarking on the adventures of being first time parents.  Ron soon dubbed that as "his" song for Kaitlyn and it really couldn't be more perfect.

I just came across this song and I am officially declaring it as "my" song for Jonathan. :)  It's a simple and sweet lullaby by the Dixie Chicks entitled "Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)".

You can listen to it from this YouTube video and the lyrics are below. ♥

Dragon tales and the "water is wide"

Pirate's sail and lost boys fly

Fish bite moonbeams every night

And I love you

Godspeed, little man

Sweet dreams, little man

Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings

Godspeed

Sweet dreams

The rocket racer's all tuckered out

Superman's in pajamas on the couch

Goodnight moon, will find the mouse

And I love you

Godspeed, little man

Sweet dreams, little man

Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings

Godspeed

Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and match box cars

God bless dad and thanks for the stars

God hears "Amen," wherever we are

And I love you

Godspeed, little man

Sweet dreams, little man

Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings

Godspeed

Godspeed

Godspeed

Sweet dreams
