Lullaby

My boy with soft brown eyes As soft as the summer breeze Your smile, as sweet as honey Place your head against me And let me sing you your lullaby One last time, one last song Sleep, my darling boy Listen to the humming of my voice Let me sway you to and fro Your body is still warm And my tears fall ever so softly Against your skin, my Love So pale in the darkness Sleep my Love, and dream Of you and I together For we shall meet again On God’s green land, we shall Above the waters, so surely I will hold your hand once more.

Very emotional & heart-gripping. "Tears in Heaven" from Eric Clapton comes to mind here. Congrats to you on being featured on the home page...very well deserved. -Drake
