Story Behind The Song

Written to my 3 year old daughter on the occassion of my mother's passing. A little 9/11 in there too.

Song Description

A lullaby with some profound (I hope) life wishes and lessons

Lyrics

Close your eyes my little dove
lay you down to sleep.
May all your dreams be filled with love
your heart filled with peace
But if a passing storm appears
tears in the night
call my name and rest your fears
I?ll be by your side

CHORUS:
Life is filled with hopes and joys
and dreams you can make true
Glide through with your head held high
and the sun will shine on you

Don?t grow too soon my little dove
don?t fly away too fast
play your games and dream your dreams
let your childhood last
How I wish I could take the blows
I know you?ll have to endure,
but I?ll be gliding right behind
of that you can be sure

CHORUS v2:
Open your heart and feel the joy
and beauty that?s inside
open your mind and learn all the things
your fascination desires


Many, many years from now
the world will be your own
and if a passing storm appears
and you feel all alone
Raise your eyes up to the stars
on your darkest night
feel the breeze and rest your fears
I am by your side

CHORUS:
Life is filled with hopes and joys
and dreams you can make true
Glide through with your head held high
and the sun will shine on you

So close your eyes my little dove
lay you down to sleep.
May all your dreams be filled with love
your heart filled with peace
But if a passing storm appears
tears in the night
call my name and rest your fears
I?ll be by your side

Call my name and rest your fears,
I am by your side.
