Lyrics Another Lullaby - Jimmy Webb, Marc Cohn

Another Lullaby

Close your eyes my pretty child
Though the night is dark and the wind is wild
I will stand beside your bed
Tonight there’s nothing you need fear or dread
You can sleep now, go to sleep
The rain falls and the windows weep
But I’m standing by to sing a lullaby
So close your eyes my sister fair
Though the snow is falling and the trees are bare
And I will hold you by the hand
Tonight there is nothin' you need to try to understand
You can sleep now, go to sleep
See the daytime’s dyin' and the nighttime’s so deep
But I’m standing by to sing a lullaby
Close your eyes my mother wise
When the waves are angry and the north train cries
I stop those ghosts outside your door
Mama, don’t worry 'bout those ghosts no more
You can sleep now, go to sleep
Tomorrow comes but it will keep
I’m standing by to sing a lullaby
Another lullaby
Another lullaby
Another lullaby
