lullaby

She grew up with the children of the stars In the Hollywood Hills and the Boulevard Her parents threw big parties everyone was there They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper Bob Seeger and Sonny and Cher And she feels safe now in this bar on Fairfax And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go, and she can't relax And just before she hangs her head to cry I sing to her a lullaby I sing Everything's gonna be alright Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be alright Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye She still lives with her Mom outside the city Down that street about a half a mile And all her friends tell her she's so pretty But she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while 'Cause even her smile looks like a frown And she's seen her share of devils in this angel town Everything's gonna be alright Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be alright Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye I told her I ain't so sure about this place It's hard to play a gig in this town, keep a straight face And seems like everybody's got a plan It's kind of like Nashville with a tan Everything's gonna be alright Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be alright So rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be alright Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be alright Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be alright Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be alright Rockabye, rockabye, bockabye Bye bye Bye bye

Well, I know the feeling Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge And there ain't no healing From cutting yourself with the jagged edge I'm telling you that, it's never that bad Take it from someone who's been where you're at Laid out on the floor And you're not sure, you can take this anymore So just give it one more try to a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I'm reaching out To let you know that you're not alone And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'Cause I can't get you on the telephone So just close your eyes (close your eyes) Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby Well, please let me take you Out of the darkness and into the light 'Cause I have faith in you That you're gonna make it through another night Stop thinking about the easy way out There's no need to go and blow the candle out Because you're not done You're far too young And the best is yet to come So just give it one more try to a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I'm reaching out To let you know that you're not alone And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'Cause I can't get you on the telephone So just close your eyes (close your eyes) Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby Well, everybody's hit the bottom Everybody's been forgotten When everybody's tired of being alone Yeah, everybody's been abandoned And left a little empty handed So, if you're out there barely hanging on Just give it one more try to a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I'm reaching out To let you know that you're not alone And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'Cause I can't get you on the telephone So just close your eyes (close your eyes) Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby

They didn't have you where I come from Never knew the best was yet to come Life began when I saw your face And I hear your laugh like a serenade How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you wanna to be loved? Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up I slip in bed when you're asleep To hold you close and feel your breath on me Tomorrow there'll be so much to do So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up As you wander through this troubled world In search of all things beautiful You can close your eyes when you're miles away And hear my voice like a serenade How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up How long do you wanna be love? Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up

Goodnight, goodnight, it's time now to sleep The moon's watchin' over you and your dreams Goodnight, goodnight, my sweet little one Tomorrow, your eyes, they will light up the sun But goodnight, goodnight, sweet dreams for now Drift off to sleep on your pillow of clouds Goodnight, goodnight, my sweet little friend Tomorrow's adventures, they will soon begin Tomorrow's adventures will soon begin

Days feel harder Night grows longer Summer says its goodbyes In darkness cover We find shelter Our own place to hide Oh, as the light goes out Thoughts turn to angels over us Oh, as the night comes in Dreams start their drifting And you hear a lullaby Lullaby, you and I Trees touch windows Say their hellos Hear this house as it settles in Worry slips away It don't know your name It don't know where to find us Oh, as the light goes out Thoughts turn to angels all around us Oh, as the night comes in Dreams start their drifting And we hear a lullaby A lullaby You and I, you and I A lullaby

I'd give you everything I never had I hope you know that But now I have it, I don't need it, it's important that you see it Money often makes a never-home dad Is it worth all the times when I'm never here? Is it worth it when daddy can't dry your tears? Is it life or just a living? Kids and wife is not a given I wish I could be a stay-at-home dad And all the dreams I had, I Still see them in your eyes Now you can hurt me more than I've ever Been hurt before and I've been hurt before I'll live, I'll live, I'll live I'll live like this forever I still have all the wounds he left But they don't hurt no more like they hurt before I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that he could have seen you I'm gonna miss the most important things And I know that Your first words, a couple steps, at least we got so many left Your mom's so good, she never make me look bad 'Cause she knows all the times when I'm far from home In a room full of people but all alone It gets me thinkin' when we're smokin' and we're drinkin' I wish I could be a stay-at-home dad And all the dreams I had, I Still see them in your eyes Now you can hurt me more than I ever Been hurt before and I've been hurt before I'll live, I'll live, I'll live I'll live like this forever I still have all the wounds he left But they don't hurt no more like they hurt before I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that he could have seen you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I wish that he could have seen you Now you can hurt me more than I ever Been hurt before and I've been hurt before I'll live, I'll live, I'll live I'll live like this forever I still have all the wounds he left But they don't hurt no more like they hurt before I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that he could have seen you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
