Lullaby

All growing up, I listened to Billy Joel with my Dad. We sang out loud while driving and had a lot of fun together. This last trip to Houston my sister and I were driving and it was still awhile before we reached our destination when her daughter, who is not quite 2, started to cry. We had no way to really soothe her so together we started to sing this song, Lullaby. The little princess was asleep almost instantly but sister and I kept singing just for the happiness of it. I love that memory. Since I got home from that trip, I put the lyrics on my phone so I can sing to Amelia when she's needing to be calmed. I played it for Brad and he's planning to learn the guitar notes to play for her- I can't wait to hear his version, he is incredibly creative. 

Anyway, I just thought I would share this sweet song with my memories and plans all wrapped around it in a neat little present.

Enjoy.

Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes

And save these questions for another day

I think I know what you've been asking me

I think you know what I've been trying to say

I promised I would never leave you

Then you should always know

Wherever you may go, no matter where you are

I never will be far away

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep

And still so many things I want to say

Remember all the songs you sang for me

When we went sailing on an emerald bay

And like a boat out on the ocean

I'm rocking you to sleep

The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient heart

You'll always be a part of me

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream

And dream how wonderful your life will be

Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby

Then in your heart there will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone

But lullabies go on and on

They never die

That's how you and I will be
