| Dolphin's Lullaby (Rick Roberts) Close your weary eyes and drift away, it's all right I'll be here until the break of day brings the light I can sing a lullaby they sang for me when I was just your size Just a little poem with a melody to shut those sleepy eyes Singing dolphins over the ocean Where it's clear and it's deep Help the waves with your gentle motion Rock this child to sleep May sailing ships and secrets fill your dreams with delight Anything you want is yours for free for the night I won't let no bad dreams come and bother you Just put your trust and me I'll be standing by to keep a watch on you While you're away at sea Singing dolphins over the ocean Where it's clear and it's deep Help the waves with your gentle motion Rock this child to sleep You got to rock this child You got to rock this child to sleep You got to rock-a-bye my baby Rock-a-bye my baby, rock-a-bye Firefall Rick Roberts tells the story: "It's also one of my favorite songs of all the tunes I've written. I had the music for several months before I finally figured out what I wanted to write about. I kept playing the melody for friends and telling them it sounded like a lullaby, but I couldn't think what to say. Then one day I decided to go back to images from my childhood and I wrote the lyrics in about three hours. Well, maybe not quite that fast, but fast." |
