Lullaby

Let me rock you, let me sing

Let my voice within you bring

A kind of sleep that I once knew

Before I ever sang to you.

Before the nighttime constant cries.

Before Mom's breathless lullabies

To try and soothe your fitful ways

On through the night and every day

I pray God's always there to guide

Tour journeys from a babe to bride

And let him always lead you on

Even when I've died and gone

You'll have children like I've had you

You'll have good days, bad ones too

But I pray you'll remember the sacrifice

I made by praying every night

I pray God gives you dancing feet

And many years, both hard and sweet

This is my Mother's prayer to keep

Now off to bed, let Mommy sleep.
