Midnight Lullaby

Jeg vågnede i går morges med en sang – det er der egentlig ikke noget nyt i, for det har jeg gjort tit, mit hoved har altid været fuldt af ord, sætninger, strofer og småsange. Men denne her er lidt anderledes. Lidt mere enkel, og så havde den musik med sig. Men, suk, jeg kan ikke skrive eller læse noder, så måske skal jeg bare håbe på, at nogen en dag ringer/skriver til mig, fordi de har lyst til at sætte musik på den. Her til morgen kom så lidt mere til sangen, og måske er den ved at være klar. Det kan også være, at den skal justeres lidt. Den kommer her, for enhver, som har lyst til at læse med.



Midnight Lullaby 



It’s gonna be alright, I’ll stay with you tonight

It’s gonna be alright, there’s nothing we can’t fight

It’s gonna be alright, the grass is lush and green

It’s gonna be alright, there’s nothing to be seen




The wind is on its way down, on this you can rely

The moon is shining through the trees, the stars are on the sky

The night is slowly fading, an owl’s lonely sigh

The dawn will soon be breaking,

and nothing, nothing, nothing, will ever be, ever be

Like the dream you had




The sea has turned its tide, the fish are fine and well

The little baby otter and its mommy play with shells

And sea weed is a perfect place for them to hide and seek

The water’s blue and green and wet, and full of life,

for you to meet

Remember how you laughed at all the lions of the sea,

and nothing, nothing, nothing, will ever be, ever be

Like the dream you had




The eagle flies the mountain’s top, the bear sleeps in the cave

The old and mighty buffalo has courage and is brave

And all the little chipmonks, they are safe within their nests

And the bluebird, he will begin to sing,

as soon as the morning breaks

And nothing, nothing, nothing, will ever be, ever be,

Like the dream you had




Mommy’s sleeping safe and sound, your little brother too,

And all the baby kittens’ in the barn's asleep, like soon we also do

And no one comes to hurt you, cause I will guard the way

For Daddy’ll fetch a better dream and make it nice and stay

And nothing, nothing, nothing, will ever be, will ever be

Like the dream you had




So lay your head on my shoulder and just feel free to cry

And I will give you comfort, and be by you, until the day you die

And we shall live in sunshine and never a worry thought

And time will last forever,

and nothing, nothing, nothing, will be ever be, ever be

Like the dream you had




So I will turn on the night lamp, to shine beside your bed

And I will lay my arm around you, caress your tired head

And whisper gentle words to you and,

warm you till the dream is gone

And I will keep my watch for you, and so the moon and sun

Until the bright new morning dawns,

and will give you, give you, a better dream




Baby, baby, baby, I’ll dry your tears, and I’ll fight your fears

Baby, baby, baby, I’ll dry your tears, and I’ll fight your fears

Baby, baby, baby, I’ll dry your tears, and I’ll fight your fears
