Lullaby
Jack Johnson · Sing-A-Longs And Lullabies For The Film Curious Ge [2006]
lyin in bed
nights closed its eyes
but you cant rest your head
everyones sleepin
all through the house
you wish you could dream
but forgot to somehow
sing this lullaby to yourself
sing this lullaby to yourself
and if you are waitin
waitin for me
ill be home soon darling
i guarantee
ill be home sunday
just in one week
dry up your tears
if you start to weep
and sing this lullaby to yourself
sing this lullaby to yourself
lullaby, im not nearby
sing this lullaby to yourself
dont you cry
no dont you cry
sing this lullaby to yourself
cos when i arrive dear
it wont be that long
no it wont seem like anytime
that ive been gone
it aint the first time
it wont be the last
wont you remember these words
to help the time pass
so when youre so lonely
lyin in bed
and nights closed its eyes
but you cant rest your head
everyones sleepin
all through the house
you wish you could dream
but forgot to somehow
sing this lullaby to yourself
sing this lullaby to yourself
sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby
sing this lullaby to yourself

Jack Johnson's 'Lullaby' serves as a tender highlight on the 2006 album *Sing-A-Longs And Lullabies For The Film Curious George*. Known for his laid-back acoustic style and gentle vocals, Johnson crafted this track specifically for the animated feature, blending his signature island-reggae influences with a soothing melody designed for young listeners. The recording captures the intimate, stripped-back production that defines much of his work, utilizing soft percussion and warm guitar tones to create a calming atmosphere. As part of a broader discography that frequently explores themes of family, nature, and simplicity, this song exemplifies Johnson's ability to write accessible, heartfelt music that resonates across generations. It remains a cherished example of his contribution to children's soundtracks and his enduring appeal as a singer-songwriter who prioritizes emotional connection over complexity.
