Lullaby

Andrew Peterson


Well, I haven't got a lot to offer 
Just a rhyme and a melody 
But I promised I'd write if it took all night 
A lullaby for thee 

CHORUS 
They say there ain't no sleeping in heaven 
Baby, that don't mean that you can't dream 
So when you close your eyes 
Know your mother and I 
Pray the Lord your soul to keep 
And we never got the chance to hold you 
And we never got to tell you goodnight 
So we hope you can hear as Jesus cradles you near 
Baby, this is your lullaby 

So are you running with the angels? 
Are you singing with the saints? 
Are you throwing a ball against a heavenly wall 
Maybe swinging on the pearly gates? 

Well there's so much love between us 
And so much that I wanna say 
I wanna ramble awhile with my beautiful child 
Baby, I can hardly wait... 

CHORUS
