Sing me a lullaby that makes the birds stop and listen.
A song among all songs that shares your hearts desires.
Even when it’s whispered it makes the world want to hear.
Sing it to me.
Sing it to me.
Soon the song will linger in my dreams.
The faint familiarity of your words from word to word will stay with me all through the night.
I hope this lullaby will keep me sound asleep.
Cause this broken heart of mine wakes me through the night.

The author's comments:
At night I have trouble sleeping. I wrote this thinking about how I would love to just sleep completely through a night peacefully. I thought maybe If a voice so gentle and serene would sing me a song like a lullaby it would help me get to sleep. I hope people hope for a love from someone that is like a lullaby. A comfort that helps them get through the night.
