I'm on a limited lifespan, and spent time today with my almost 2 year old granddaughter. This song came to mind when I received a text from my daughter in law saying the granddaughter kept on calling my name after I left. She is a ray of sunshine in an otherwise grey existence.

I just heard this in June 2024 in New York long island, as the warm summer begins. Thinking of Australia and having heard the song at the end of the film Top of the Lake/China Girl with Elisabeth Moss, Nicole Kidman and Jane Campion as director. Although I'm not a father, the film with many mother-daughter intricate story lines and values, moved me including the culmination of this film with this song Lil Ray of Sunshine. Beautiful and moving comments thank you all. NN

My daughter turns twenty tomorrow. She was ten weeks early, and we were totally unprepared for just how fragile she was. While she was being settled in to the NICU, and before her mum came out of the anaesthetic, I ducked out to the (conveniently close) pub. The barman must have seen rattled, first time dads on a regular basis, cos I didn't get around to ordering a beer, one was put in front of me, and he knew exactly what to say. He played this on the jukebox, and it calmed me right down

@gaijininja6 ай бұрын
This was also my Dad and Daughter dance at her wedding. Complete surprise to me. I played the song to her a few years ago and said “This is the song that makes me think of you.” Was a surprise for me when it started playing as we walked onto the floor. Surprised her when her very reserved dad started singing it in her ear. The only song I can sing and actually hit the notes.
@gaijininja6 ай бұрын
I would suggest to any expecting dad, learn this song. You don’t have to be able to sing, but nine months of practice, and singing it quietly a cappella at bed time will bond you and your daughter, and give her a wonderful memory for life. Alternatively, just quietly sing it at your Daddy Daughter dance at her wedding. She won’t care if you don’t hit all the notes, it will be like diamonds to her.

Yes, Mary, it is, but the song was really dedicated to his first g/f. However the part that said "...it's coming into our world may have been something to do with the birth of his unborn daughter. Only he knows the reason. Mum loved this song when my little sister was born. We had a LP record titled 20 Explosive Hits and the song was in it, including others, e.g. Shilo. www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwiaw8ia5e7xAhXOBHIKHYegDM8YABAHGgJzZg&ae=2&sig=AOD64_3RnN5aTVynspgEAOoSu1PpEB3zPw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjE4sGa5e7xAhXZyjgGHUznDLQQwg96BAgBECc&adurl=
