Gently Now, Gently

1. The baby's sleeping Sleep, baby, sleep Love is for keeping Keep, baby, keep No time for weeping Weep, baby, weep Chorus: Gently now, gently Let us not rush Love me intently Let us now hush 2. Music is humming Hum, baby, hum Guitar strings strumming Strum, baby, strum Love has come drumming Drum, baby, drum Chorus: Gently now, gently Let us not rush Love me intently Let us now hush Bridge: Gently now, gently Take me in your arms Love me intently Ease all my alarms Gently now, gently Hear my heart beating Love me intently My fear is fleeting Gently now, gently Let us not rush Let us now hush... Now hush... 09.05.2020 For Edward Ibeh's "Pick-A-Title - vol.22- lyric 2" contest

A lovers lullaby, Daniel. This flows so nicely both melodically and lyrically. Nice use of the theme as a hook! Best wishes for the contest.

Enjoyed the bouncy tone of your lyrics, Jo..lovely write. The prompt is quite appealing for a love poem--I have written on the same theme (not posted yet). All the best.
