Just half as old as the day is new
Into this world we welcome you
All must seem so strange to your open eyes
But all your fears I’ll rock away
And though you’ll be too old one day
For now I’ll fumble through a lullaby
Lullaby, fall now softly away from the day
Lullaby, gentle dreams will come your way
As I sing a lullaby
Today you spoke my name to me
It seems like somehow suddenly
The world is spinning faster and the days all fly
But still, today when you were scared
You came to me to dry your tears
And calm you with your favourite lullaby
Lullaby, fall now softly away from the day
Lullaby, gentle dreams will come your way
As I sing a lullaby
One day soon you’ll be too old
To stay at home… and so it goes
A family of your own will fill your life
But think of me from time to time
And know that still down deep inside
I’m singing you to sleep, your lullaby
Lullaby, fall now softly away from the day
Lullaby, gentle dreams will come your way
As I sing a lullaby
