Face is pressed into the carpet Spin the record then restart it Needle pressed into the vinyl And music came to life For a little girl in a cotton dress That spins the room with hair a mess Waiting for their wild applause To make her feel alive On the weeknights mamma sang "you are my sunshine" before we prayed And i'd try not to fall asleep So she would just keep singing But on the weekends daddy played it On the guitar was my favorite Music was the way he prayed And it made me feel alive And now i sing "you are my sunshine" For the ones who are my sunshine And pray that they won't fall asleep So i can just keep singing To a little girl in a cotton dress A bigger boy with hair a mess The way they spin around the room Well it makes me feel alive Face is pressed into the carpet Spin the record then restart it Music is the way i pray And it makes me feel alive.
