A Lullaby for You
Gerald Gray, (c) 2012
When I look into my baby’s eyes
I’m thankful for my little surprise
So I’ll keep you safe from the storm outside
This is a lullaby, for you
When I hold my baby’s hand,
so soft to touch, so gentle and
I’ll stop the world, for you I can
This is a lullaby, for you
I’ll watch and keep you safe
Don’t worry now, don’t be afraid
If you stir I know what to do
I’ll sing this lullaby, for you
I’ll sing this lullaby, for you
I’ll brush the hair back from your eyes
A time to rest, no time to cry
You snuggle in and let out a sigh
This is a lullaby, for you
Hold me close and rest your head
A moment’s peace before it’s time for bed
I’ll tuck you in and kiss your head
This is a lullaby, for you
I’ll watch and keep you safe
Don’t worry now, don’t be afraid
If you stir I know what to do
I’ll sing this lullaby …
Go to sleep…
Close your eyes…
Go to sleep…
And dream…
Hold me close and rest your head
A moment’s peace before it’s time for bed
I’ll tuck you in and kiss your head
This is a lullaby, for you
For you… for you… for you… for you…
