Daddy’s Homecoming

I’m so glad when Daddy comes home,
Glad as I can be.
Clap my hands and shout for joy,
And climb upon his knee.
Put my arms around his neck,
Hug him tight like this!
Pat his cheeks and give him “what?”
A great big KISS! (make kiss sound)

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are gray.
You’ll never know dear
How much I love you.
Please don’t take
My sunshine away.

Home

Home is where the heart is
And warmth and love abound.
Home is where warm circling arms
Go all the way around.

Smile Song

I have something in my pocket
That belongs across my face
I keep it very close at hand
In a most convenient place

I’m sure you wouldn’t guess it
If you guessed a long, long while
So, I’ll take it out and put in on
It’s a music maker’s smile!

I Love You
(tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)

I love you, yes I do.
Suzy, Suzy, I love you,
Yes I do.
