We saw B.B. King in concert a few days ago and he sang You Are My Sunshine for at least 15 minutes and didn't include the second verse. It was really cool though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-772417 Fri, 10 May 2013 02:59:20 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 772417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew the second verse but I wouldn't sing it to LO... too sad. I don't even know how I know it. My mom never sang it to us... </p> <p>Mr. Hedgie used to sing the first verse to me all the time. I was so cute because he can't even kinda sing! The boy is tone deaf! Now he sings it to my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-772407 Fri, 10 May 2013 02:27:04 +0000 Boogs 772407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no idea there were more verses, now I need to hear them all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-772376 Fri, 10 May 2013 00:53:31 +0000 78h2o 772376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't sing it because even the first verse chokes me up! I think I will adopt the last line @sorrycharlie:mentioned. Much better!</p> <p>I have a kids cd in which the last line of rockabye baby was changed to "...when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and mommy/daddy will catch you, cradle and all." Also better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-772017 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:59:04 +0000 tequiero21 772017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's actually the first verse, no? Johnny cash sang that verse first....I found out when I was you tubing the song so I could sing the correct lyrics to my kids.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-771859 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:04:01 +0000 Weagle 771859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do.

I know it from the "O brother where art thou?" soundtrack. I know it's sad, but at this point he doesn't know what it means. Maybe I'll change it for when he's older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-771119 Thu, 09 May 2013 16:34:01 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 771119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: omg!!! What the hell!?!<br /> I never knew there was a 2nd verse....&amp; that it was depressing.

My dad sung both verses to me at bed time! He also sang this song to me at my wedding (first verse only) so I am pretty partial to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-770902 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:25:58 +0000 swurlygurl 770902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Haha, that's hilarious!</p> <p>I had never heard that second verse - how sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-770865 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:19:36 +0000 Mrs. J 770865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...I used to sing the whole thing as a kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-770788 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:08:50 +0000 MamaMoose 770788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I sing both verses because my mom always sang them to me. I think I have happy thoughts about the song just because I have memories of my mama singing to me and I didn't focus so much on the lyrics.</p> <p>Also.. you are my sunshine is the only thing that puts my babe to sleep. But all she cares about at this point is the melody. So if my husband and I have to talk during bed time we have had full conversations to the tune of you are my sunshine : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-770766 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:06:49 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 770766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally sing the first and second verse, but I might cut back to just the first now that Owen is more verbal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-770747 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:03:44 +0000 mrsmenow 770747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest use to cry during the second verse when she was little, She thought it was so sad so I stopped:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-770742 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:02:57 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 770742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i do, but then i always sing the first verse again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-770736 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:01:16 +0000 blackbird 770736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This song is so depressing!

Sometimes I do just sing the widely known verse though because I know relatively soon she might realize what the other verse says and how sad it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-the-second-verse-to-you-are-my-sunshine#post-770577 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:31:07 +0000 oliviaoblivia 770577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That song always makes me cry.

We heard it for the first time after E was born on the children's radio station on Pandora. Neither of our moms ever sang it to us. Did anyone ever sing the second verse to you? Do you sing it to your LO?</p> <p>ETA: These are the lyrics to the second verse..<br /> The other night dear<br /> As I lay sleeping<br /> I dreamed I held you in my arms<br /> When I awoke dear<br /> I was mistaken<br /> And I held<br /> My head<br /> And cried </p>
