Sometimes, when you feel a cry coming on...

SING ME A LULLABY

Clayton Anderson Bell

Please sing me a lullaby.
One that speaks of peace and quiet,
Of a world filled with hope and joy,
Where children play and birds do fly,
No sadness please for my heart is aching so.

Please sing me a lullaby.
Yes, an old lullaby from bygone days,
One that carries mellow tones,
My ears hear only saddest sighs,
My eyes are filled with tears once more.

Please sing me a lullaby.
Brahms? Yes, I love Brahms, so tender,
Sing in a key that I might join you,
See how still the eve does lie,
Excuse me if I cry myself to sleep.

Please sing me a lullaby.
Sing it softly, quietly, tenderly,
All heartbreak now begins to fade,
I feel my will again to try,
Sing me a lullaby, please sing me a lullaby.
