Lullaby of the Sea

The calm cool waters of the bay
Are clear and blue by light of day
But as the night time starts to fall
The sea begins its peaceful call
  
As soothing trade winds start to blow
The moon brings forth a gentle glow
Its mellow light shines mystically 
And glistens softly on the sea
  
Beside the shore the air is kissed
By cool and salty ocean mist
Where tiny bits of star light play
Across the waters of the bay
  
The waves then start to play a tune
While dancing underneath the moon
The surf brings every note ashore 
To place them at the ocean’s door
  
And as the tide comes rolling in
The waters sing of where they’ve been
A lilting song of far away
That softly calls and seems to say
  
"Come dream with me my tired friend
Until the night comes to an end
And let me wash your cares away
Then rock you here ‘til break of day"
  
So if at night you look for me
Upon the shore is where I’ll be
A place where I can close my eyes
And hear the sea’s soft lullabies
