Lullaby

Well, I haven't got a lot to offer

Just a rhyme and a melody

But I promised I'd write if it took all night

A lullaby for thee

They say there ain't no sleeping in heaven

Baby, that don't mean that you can't dream

So when you close your eyes

Know your mother and I

Pray the Lord your soul to keep

And we never got the chance to hold you

And we never got to tell you goodnight

So we hope you can hear as Jesus cradles you near

Baby, this is your lullaby

So are you running with the angels?

Are you singing with the saints?

Are you throwing a ball against a heavenly wall

Maybe swinging on the pearly gates?

Well there's so much love between us

And so much that I wanna say

I wanna ramble awhile with my beautiful child

Baby, I can hardly wait...
