Songs for Joshua - Week 7

I didn't like this song the first time I heard it. Maybe it was because Joshua wasn't here yet or maybe it was because I just didn't understand how sweet putting my baby to bed could be. Now that Josh is here and I've heard the song again, I love it. I've tried to make this song part of his bedtime routine. I'll sit in the living room and sing this to him as we rock in the chair. Then we go upstairs and I lay him down. I love the moment right before I lay him down in his crib when he snuggles into my neck and sighs that contented sigh. My favorite line of this song is "God bless mommy and matchbox cars". I just love how mommy ranks right up there with the cars. :)

"Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)" - Dixie Chicks

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 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
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed, godspeed, godspeed, sweet dreams
