Lullaby Lyrics

Sweet sweet lullaby sing me to sleep

My eyes are tired and my body is weak

Sweet sweet melody put me at ease

Calm these rattled hands of mine that look like withered trees

Please please look beyond the wickedness inside

I know I didn't live my best but lord I know I tried

So sweet sweet lullaby sing me to sleep

My children please don't forget all the things you've learned

I've taught you everything I know so now it's your turn

Forget about my legacy but hold my love so tight

Try to turn the other cheek but never lose your fight

And when it's time for me to leave into the light so bright

Don't think that I have gone to far I'll always be inside

So sweet sweet lullaby sing me to sleep

I'm crossing over into the river deep and wide

The water's at my kneecaps and it's rising to my thighs

My body dissipates beneath I can hear the final note

But the memories and love I hold remain and stay afloat

So death I welcome you just like, just like a dear old friend

I know I disappear 'cause this is not the end

So sweet sweet lullaby sing me to sleep

I pray when I awake that I am yours to keep
