U R My Sunshine ~ at a bit faster pace

Sometimes I feel like playing it this way. I love this old song whether done fast or slow. Sometimes the lyics are true, but for the most part, we need to make our selves happy and not rely on others to do the job.

1940 Song by Jimmie Davis, 2 time governor of Louisiana.

Comment by Uncle John on May 20, 2019 at 1:24am: Ooooh. Home made ice cream sounds good. Remember taking turns sitting on the bucket or cranking?
