Remember when I was so small
|
My first memory,
|
I'd count the shadows on the wall too restless to sleep.
|
My Dad came in to tuck me in when I couldn't sleep
|
And he's comfort me.
|
With this melody.
|
|
Here's my father's lullaby,
|
Baby you don't have to cry,
|
Now it's time to close your eyes.
|
Let's say goodnight.
|
With my father's lullaby.
|
Now it's yours like it was mine.
|
So it's time to close your eyes and say goodnight.
|
|
I wonder where the time has gone as I hold your hand.
|
It seems like only yesterday he stood where I stand.
|
Now I come in to tuck you in,
|
As history repeats.
|
Can I comfort you like he taught me to?
|
|
Here's my father's lullaby,
|
Baby you don't have to cry,
|
Now it's time to close your eyes.
|
Let's say goodnight.
|
With my father's lullaby.
|
Now it's yours like it was mine.
|
So it's time to close your eyes and say goodnight.
|
|
Cause I hope that someday,
|
When daylight has come,
|
You'll be singing these same words to your little boy.
|
|
Here's my father's lullaby,
|
Baby you don't have to cry,
|
Now it's time to close your eyes.
|
Let's say goodnight.
|
With my father's lullaby.
|
Now it's yours like it was mine.
|
So it's time to close your eyes and say goodnight.
|
|
Good night.
|
Good night.
