about

Wrote this a while back and decided to post it. All of my friends are having babies, so now's as good a time as any.

I wrote this because one of my fondest memories is listening to my mother sing to us at bedtime. I don't have kids yet, but when I do, I want to do the same for them. Until that time comes, here's a lullaby for a starry night.

lyrics

It’s been a good day
It’s been alright
We’ve come a long way
Now it’s time to say goodnight

To the fish in the sea
To the sleepy honey bees
To the cats and the dogs
To the crickets and bullfrogs

To the moon and the stars
Shining brightly where they are
To the leaves on the trees
Waving gently in the breeze

They say goodnight my dear
Just close your eyes
Tomorrow’s almost here
With the morning light

And now I’ll say goodbye
Til the evening’s through
So goodnight, sleep tight, and
Know that I love you
