From the recording Evolutions
I wrote this as a lullaby for my friend Nikki's first born son. He had just been born and I was feeling a sense of awe. Not sure if he has ever heard this song, but he did grow up to be a wonderful human. This was for you, George.
Lyrics
Little one lying in your bed
Go to sleep, let dreams fill your head
I light a candle to guide your way through this world and all of its pain
Little child, what will your tomorrows bring?
New adventures, new friends, and new love to sing
I want you to remember as you sleep in peace
for all the questions you ask, love is the answer you seek
Bridge:
Love can turn a grey sky blue
Love can make the old look new
Follow the bacon I light for you
Let love surround and protect you.
Little angel, now softly to sleep
On a cloud of linen, a slumber so sweet
Safe from the dark, safe from harm
Love and truth to keep you warm
Little one, laying in your bed
Go to sleep, let dreams fill your head
I light a candle to guide your way
Before dreams enter, together we pray:
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray dear Love, my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake,
I pray, dear Love, my soul to take...amen.
