I need a lullaby
I’m doing this alone
Even with the ones that love me
Even with a telephone
I need a rocking chair
I’m doing this alone
What once felt like achievement
Becomes a lonely home
I need a lullaby
With soft melodies about
Traveling through the air
Fingertips run ‘bout my hairs
Could I be comforted by and by
With your hands upon my face
Wipe the tears which soon
Shall trace themselves along
My rose hot cheeks
I need a lullaby
A shoulder on to cry
Would you like to settle down
Beside the fire with me now
I’ve chopped some wood
My heart is good
And I’ll keep safe your
Darlin’ eyes
I need a lullaby be with me
By and by
