Lullaby

[stormy_passions]

I don't know if you can hear me, but hush if you can
Sleep warm and deep and silent please keep
Until the night breaks into the coming day

I don't know why I feel you need a lullaby
Your days are happy, filled with sunshine and joyful memories
Perhaps I'm silly or confounded with my place in things

Nevertheless if I could sing, I would be a nightingale
Never needing words to sound pretty or beautiful to hear
But maybe all you need is me here to think of you this way

I suppose some loves are sharp, others more plentiful and large
There are bigger dreams than the ones I keep, more practical and real than I
And yet I sit here anyway wishing the best for the face I adore

So you can tell which people you know that I'm a silly woman
That I sing you lullabies even though you're now old and wiser than I
Or say nothing at all if you like and keep the others guessing

There's nothing I can really say that will ever make you better
There's nothing I can really do besides hope and love and pray and think of you
And tonight i find myself out of prayers, just you here in my thoughts

So I'm sorry if this lullaby is a little confused and unsorted
I was never a great poet at best neither a noteworthy illustrator
But tonight I notice is just you and I, and I feel that there's something I need to share

You know, there's never much to my life that you're not in
There isn't a certain point that you start or end we just kind of fit together
And I think we're pretty inseperable, cause I see you time and time again

I'm never going to leave without you by my side
And even though you won't need me always, I'll be her for you anyways
Because I want to be, because I love you, and because I said it in a lullaby...
