| 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. |
