Lullaby

Time streams ever faster As you grow up before my eyes Only yesterday I could pick you up And sing you lullabies I loved you before I knew you You get dearer every day My joy to watch you grown and learn As you make the world a better place My heart is with you every night As you slide off to sleep All the prayers we said The books I read as I stroked your hair back from your cheek Soon you'll all be grown and gone You'll have families of your own Triumphs, heartaches, joys and tears Dearest ones you're not alone My heart is with you every night As you slide off to sleep All the prayers we said The books I read as I stroked your hair back from your cheek Now I lay me down to sleep Never stopping, forever love We met Harry Potter, Bear and Mouse Took trips to Neverland Lessons learned by young and old My heart is with you every night As you slide off to sleep All the prayers we said The books I read as I stroked your hair back from your cheek My heart is with you every night As you slide off to sleep All the prayers we said The books we read as I stroked your hair back from your cheek
