Father's Lullaby

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.
