Premium MemberMY RAINY ROOFTOP LULLABY



I fell asleep,
beneath the trees,
their leaves wept,
as I slept.

I now know,
I will go,
someday it's true,
beneath the moon.

Stars will cry,
I'll say goodnight,
close my eyes,
to a rooftop lullaby.


Premium MemberFirefly

Fireflies in night, so bright, 
Frolicking 'neath moon's light, 
Favorite eyes, goodnight,
Fireflies humming at lamps, 
Fireflies' soft lullaby, 
Fairyland's call, don't cry, 
Fireflies guard you all night.

Premium MemberLullaby, and Goodnight

Lullaby, and goodnight
Sorry for the fuss
When the moon is full tonight
Won't you think of us

When you see the space in bed
I don’t occupy
Rock my pillow very gently
Kiss it by and by

Keep my image close beside you
When you kneel to pray
All my vows are true completely
Since our wedding day

Softly, softly, as I leave you
Hold me one more time
Loving you is sweet and lovely
As your kiss sublime 

In the splendor of the morning
When the day is new
Where the eagle flies in glory
I will wait for you.

Premium MemberLook To the Sky

Go to sleep my sweet
I’ll sing you a lullaby
You’ll hear the bluebirds tweet
As you look up to the sky
Reach high for the moon
And touch the shooting stars
Set free your red balloon
To float way up to Mars
Goodnight 
     My little buttercup
          Goodnight

Premium MemberTravel Light - a Goodnight Lullaby

Travel light, my dear; softly go
beyond the night’s each black shadow
to another plane. Out of sight
exists a realm of such delight
you may find relief from sorrow!

Lay your head on your pillow.
Sink into the Now.  Tomorrow
comes soon enough, but for tonight
                                                  travel light!

Let the sweet magic start to flow -
angel wings sweeping over snow
it may seem, or a rainbow bright!
Close your eyes, Darling, and take flight!
In Dreamland you soon will be, so
                                                travel light!

Premium MemberA Child's Innocence

When mommy and daddy fight, 
I hold my teddy very tight.

If I let go, he might cry,
so I sing him a little lullaby.

We hide in my room on my bed
with a blanket over our head.

I don't mean to be so bad.
I always seem to make them mad.

I don't want my daddy to leave.
I'll make a wish, I do believe.

The house is quiet; the monsters have fled.
Daddy has come to put me to bed.

Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...

Jesus, help me to stay good
like mommy and daddy's 'big girl' should.

God bless daddy and mommy too.
Help them to love everyone like You.

Was daddy crying when he said, "Goodnight"?
I hope everything will be alright.

Premium MemberA Happy Tear In My Eye

Noises from the backyard
Where fireflies are being chased
Aromas from the kitchen
Promise my hunger will be erased

Musical notes from the baby grand
Practicing without a fight
I love being a family man
When day turns into night

The soapy smell of just washed hair
As I read a bedtime story
Walking through the bedroom maze
Of not yet picked up toys

A goodnight kiss from toothpaste lips
Hearing my wife sing a lullaby
As lights turn out, without a doubt
That's a happy tear in my eye
