Name: Lullaby
Duration: P00H06M48S
Description: The only time I have to practice music is after my 3 year old has had supper, and a bath, and a story, and is tucked in for the night. Then I pour a glass of wine, and sit down with my guitar...sometimes, however, my playing wakes him up. So I wrote this lullaby for him.

about

The only time I have to practice music is after my 3 year old has had supper, and a bath, and a story, and is tucked in for the night. Then I pour a glass of wine, and sit down with my guitar...sometimes, however, my playing wakes him up. So I wrote this lullaby for him.

lyrics

Every baby needs a lullaby/and a goodnight kiss/every mommy wants her baby to sleep/sweet dreams, clean cotton bliss/deeply, sweetly, soft full bellies/and blankies and stuffed toys...
Everybody has monsters hiding/in the back of the closet under the laundry/but every monster is just a bad dream/and he really just wants to be your friend
but you bury him/deeply, secretly hiding/in your closet

don't cry no more my baby
the monsters are gone
just try and close your eyes
and remember this song

You'll never know the joy it brings/when I peek through the door just to watch you sleep/how I can still hear you singing/long after you're gone/drunken, fallen, broken hearted/another partly cloudy sunrise

don't leave me here, baby
singing to myself
alone with the monsters
of memory

this song is for everybody/who can't sleep at night/everybody needs a lullaby to turn on the light/and you can sing along/sweetly, forgetting what's hiding in your closet

don't cry no more my baby
mommy's here
you're never alone in the dark
with the laundry

please don't run away my baby
I promise I won't hurt you no more
just try and close your eyes
and remember this song
...and you can sing along
