Sweet Dreams, Little Man

We have a playlist that plays in Jackson's room at the beginning of nap and bedtime. The playlist has about 10 songs. One of my favorites on the list is called, "Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)" by The Dixie Chicks. It's a perfect "little man" lullaby. The playlist usually starts with "Come thou fount of every blessing" from our friend's CD but there have been a few times that I have put this song on and rocked Jackson before bedtime or when he has needed some down time/ snuggle with Mama time. Now every once in awhile I will hear the violin part of the song over the monitor and I immediately think of rocking my sweet little man. Here are the lyrics of the song...

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
