Variation of a Lullaby

v.1 Hush little baby don't say a word Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird And if that mocking bird don't sing mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring And if that diamond ring don't shine mama's gonna give you all her time Every hour of every day for the rest of your life (chorus) So hush little baby don't you cry You'll always be within my eyes Within my arms, within my touch Within my heart, within all my love v.2 Now hush little baby don't you cry Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby of all the times that we will share We'll learn to love and we'll learn to care And if our ways should part some day in your heart my love will stay Every hour of every day for the rest of your life (chorus) - only the first 4 lines are from the original song

As a mom I had to remodel this song a time or too, wish I could remember the little lines I had come up with at a four a.m. wake up crying call. A nice write and a nice win Chris, well done.
