Lullaby, Lullaby,
Hush sweet child, don’t you cry.
Daddy’s gone away, he ain’t never coming back.
Momma’s still here, always near, always here.
Lullaby, Lullaby,
Hush baby angel, don’t you cry.
The darkness is a-coming, time for your dreams.
The sun is nearby, in the sky, nearby.
Lullaby, Lullaby,
Hush sweet child, don’t you cry.
Daddy’s gone away, he ain’t never coming back.
The sun is nearby, in the sky, nearby.
Lullaby, Lullaby,
Hush baby angel, don’t you cry.
The darkness is a-coming, time for your dreams,
Momma’s still here, always near, always here.

My name is Kooks. I have manic depression. I was inspired by some music on my CD player. Lullaby.

This is a very sad lullaby. I wouldn't want it sung to my child. Singing about daddy being gone and never coming back, and about coming..bed time would be better. I like the other lyrics however. Good luck in the contest.
