lyrics

Rockabye (A Rockturnal Lullaby)
Words & music ©2014 by Dave Caruso)

If you close your eyes and say goodnight
Good things await you when you rise
So rest your head--It’s time for bed
A pillow case, a yawning face
The good guys are gonna win again and again and again
So dry your sleepy eyes while I sing to you this lullaby

(Way up high) Drifting up above the world so high
Like a twin-kle in your father’s eye
(Float away) Your cares will fade and float away
Save me a kiss and when you wish upon a shooting star
Imagine how lucky you are
Don’t be afraid to fly while I sing to you this lullaby
(Dry all the tears in your eyes)
So dry your sleepy eyes while I sing to you this lullaby

Oh, you think happy endings only come true
For everyone else but not you
You may be surprised by the things that happen overnight
For now, I’ll say, “Goodnight,
Pleasant dreams to you and sleep tight”
