“My Girl” and Envious Bees

This week, Bekah Shepherd posted an inspiring tribute to her father David (see “My Knight in Shining Volvo”)…definitely worth a read…and she signed the post “your Little Honey Bee” at the end.

For this week’s featured song, it’s doubly appropriate that we dust off this golden oldie since The Temptations have “so much honey, the bees envy [them]” and since this is Bekah and David’s favorite song together. We fathers of sunshine bringers can surely attest to this fact as well.

Grab your girl, sing along, and twirl her around a bit. Make the bees envious.

 

 

 

“My Girl” (words & music by Smokey Robinson & Ronald White)

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of May
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl (my girl)

I’ve got so much honey, the bees envy me
I’ve got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl (my girl)
Ooh

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah

I don’t need no money, fortune or fame
I got all the riches baby, one man can claim
Well, I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl (my girl)

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl
I’ve even got the month of may
With my girl

Talkin’ ’bout, talkin’ ’bout
Talkin’ ’bout my girl, my girl
That’s all I can talk about
Is my girl
