Lullaby

John Pizzarelli · Other Songs - John Pizzarelli

I wrote this song because of you

For all the things I meant to do

Lullaby, help me try to tell her



We were a star, we had it all

But even shooting stars must fall

Lullaby, tell me why



Oh, so many times I tried to say

Those things I felt inside

But words would hide from me



But there will come a time

When these words I say in rhyme

Will hold you in a whisper

And that whisper will be mine



So if you listen you will hear

A laughing smile, a silent tear

And when you hear these words

You'll know it is true, I wrote this lullaby for you
