Lullaby

Goodnight, my angel.
time to close your eyes
and save these questions for another day.
i think i know what you've been asking me.
i think you know what i've been trying to say.
i promised i would never leave you
and you should always know;
wherever you may go,
no matter where you are,
i never will be far away.
Goodnight, my angel.
now, it's time to sleep
and still so many things i want to say.
remember all the songs you sang for me
when we went sailing on an emerald bay.
and, like a boat out on the ocean,
i'm rocking you to sleep.
the waters dark and deep.
inside this ancient heart,
you'll always be a part of me.
Goodnight, my angel.
now, it's time to dream
and dream how wonderful your life will be.
someday your child may cry
and if you sing this lullaby.
then, in your heart
there will always be a part of me.
Someday, we'll all be gone
but lullaby go on and on.
they never die,
that's how you and i will be.
