about

This song was originally a lullaby I wrote to sing my son to sleep. Later when I adapted it to guitar it took on a totally different feel, especially when I added some other lyrics I stumbled upon in one of my old notebooks, and it became Rockabye Lullaby.

lyrics

My sweet baby I love you
love you love you the whole night through
the whole night through and all day too

When we wake when morning breaks
when we rise when we greet the day
a whole new world awaits our gaze
fill it up with curiosity's praise

Chorus:
Let the world fade
let your body take
all the time it needs
to let sleep invade
the only constant is that things will change
we are moving sitting still
our bodies rearrange

In the deep of sleep what dreams may come
you reach to grasp the moon
the stars dust your thumb
with your fingertip you put them out one by one
just when you think the dark will last forever
here comes the sun

Chorus

so rock baby rock
rockabye
when you wake from your sleep
baby please don't cry
for now let me tell you
that the world is great
filled more with love and hope
than fear and hate
for now let me tell you that the world's at peace
now drift to sleep
and may your dreams be sweet

Chorus
