Grown Up Lullaby

To all you grown up ladies, you need lullabies too - to the melody of Tura Lura Lura

Go to sleep my darlin'
Go to sleep my dear
Lay you down with a smile
While I wipe away your tears.
Go to sleep my darlin'
While I rock you near,
And calm you all your fears.
Off to slumber dreamin'
'bout how 'twas years ago
A baby girl in Mama's arms
And how she loved ya so.
So sleep my darlin' lady
And rest your weary soul,
Surround your heart
With all you love
And yourself it will console;
Surround yourself
With all you love
And yourself it will console...

Great Rhyme, Craig, our children grow up and leave the nest, but it doesn't stop us to love them evermore for love runs deep and they will always be our babies. Thank you for your wonderful compliment from you means a lot.
