Description
This song was written in the moments after my daughter told me I didn't have to sing to her at bedtime anymore. She was jumping up and down on the bed and smiling when she said it and then she thought no more of it....but it's a moment in my life that I'll never forget. I love you Delaney!!
Lyrics
Last Lullaby I've been singing her to sleep every night for five years now Her night light on, the radio on and the shades drawn down Her lucky lamb in one small hand and the world in the other As I sing her a lullaby I tell her that I love her. But like little Jackie Paper they all grow up too fast I guess I should have known that it could never last and I won't forget the night when I walked through her door She looked at me and smiled and said, "Daddy, you don't have to sing to me no more". Well it all came crashin' down like the weight of a thousand nights A thousand nights I dreamed would never end And I turned around so she wouldn't see me cry The tears of a man who's about to sing his last lullaby. You can stop and smell the roses but you can't stop time Like a thief it steals the young and leaves the old behind And nothing quite prepares you when a child breaks free From the loving arms that held her ever since she was a baby And it all came crashing down like the weight of a thousand nights A thousand nights I dreamed would never end And I turned around so she wouldn't see me cry The tears of a man who's about sing his last lullaby I said I'll stop singing them for you my sweet but if it's alright..... yeah if it's alright I'll keep singing them for me! Ahhh, Rockabye baby Ahhh, Rockabye baby I've been singing her to sleep everynight for five years now Her night light on, the radio on and the shades drawn down.....
