I wanted to write a lullaby for my granddaughter Lyra who just turned one recently. She is the a force to be reckoned with and a just love. The words came quickly and I made myself cry (emotions are close to the surface when yer old), so it took a few days before I could get through it enough to record the demo. #lullaby #acousticonetake #guywithguitar #singersongwriter

Sleep now, Lyra, the night is kind
 The moon has learned your name
 You’re the newest verse in a long, long song
 Still learning how to sing

Sleep now, Lyra, let the quiet in
 Let the old stars lean near
 All the love that came before
 Beside you now, right here

Sleep now, Lyra, tomorrow’s nigh Adventures soon to be Birds will sing, and butterflies Will flutter by you and me

Sleep now, Lyra, the world can wait
 It’ll still be there at dawn
 Dreams will carry you softly through
 Every place you’ve never gone

Sleep now, Lyra, you’re safe and held
 In a circle wide and true
 A long, long song keeps singing on
 And it all leads back to you
