CeCe's sunshine

Putting CeCe to bed usually starts off like this:

'You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You never know, dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping

I dreamt I held you in my arms

When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

So I hung my head, and I cried'

It is her favorite bedtime song, but it usually has some questions to go with it. It's a fairly regular routine, but one night recently she gave me a bit of a surprise at the end. It went something like this: 

CeCe:  why you wanna cry?

Me: because his sunshine wasn't there

CeCe: where's the sunshine?

Me:  I don't know. He had a dream he was hugging her, but when he woke up, she wasn't there. 

CeCe:  were'd she go?

Me: I don't know. 

CeCe: why you wanna cry?

Me:  his sunshine wasn't there. 

CeCe:  hmm. I've been there. You?

Me:  yeah, I've been there before too. 

Later.
