Godspeed, Sweet Dreams

As someone who suffered from parental child abuse and who is the father of a 2 year-old son, this song is a very powerful reminder of how wonderful and precious our children are (or should be) to us all. I know this sounds a little sentimental, but when you grow up missing a parent’s love, witnessing it in a song like this is a very profound experience. My son’s second birthday approaches on March 20th.

Dragon tales and The Water is Wide
Pirates sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed little man Sweet Dreams little man
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 we’ll find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed little man Sweet Dreams little man
My love will fly to you night on angels wings
Godspeed Sweet Dreams

God bless mommy and matchbox 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
My love will fly to you each night on angels’s wings
Godspeed Godspeed Godspeed Sweet Dreams
