A place in the sun...

We LOVE this song. It seems to play quite often as of late because we have been watching Charlotte's Web a lot in the car, and this plays at the very end. Brayden, Bailey and Casey love it. Brayden breaks out in smiles and dancing the second he hears it. I love that! Last night at dinner, Bailey was quietly singing this to Brayden at the end of dinner, it was adorable and sweet, and tugged at my heart strings.

On the way home {as the whole family rode together}...Uncle Scott, Aunt Tara, Grandma, myself, Brayden, Bailey and Casey all started to sing this along with the DVD. A little corny-yes...but Brayden was reaching behind him holding my Mom's finger {because he thought it was Bailey}...bobbing his head to the music, and smiling because all of us were in unison still singing and being goofy.

I felt optimistic and hopeful.

I just watched everyone and listened for a second because it's one of those times in your life that you don't want to forget. A moment you want to just stand still for awhile. One of those times that are free of every worry in the world except for what really matters most-family, fun, silliness, laughter and LOVE.

It was our place in the sun.

Here is the song, and the lyrics are posted below that as well.

Enjoy!

There's a place in the sun

Where there's hope for everyone

Where my poor restless hearts, gotta run

There's a place in the sun

And before my life is done

Got to find me a place in the sun

Like a long lonely stream

I keep runnin' towards a dream

Movin' on, movin' on

Like a branch on a tree

I keep reachin' to be free

Movin' on, movin' on.

'Cause there's a place in the sun

Where there's hope for ev'ryone

Where my poor restless heart's gotta run.

There's a place in the sun

And before my life is done

Got to find me a place in the sun.

Like an old dusty road

I get weary from the load.

Movin' on, movin' on

Like this tired troubled earth

I've been rollin' since my birth

Movin' on, movin' on

'Cause there's a place in the sun

Where there's hope for ev'ryone

Where my poor restless heart's gotta run.

There's a place in the sun

And before my life is done

Got to find me a place in the sun.
