Natasha's Lullaby

by Robbed

 

Sleep, sleep.
 
Beautiful child.
 
Heart so pure,
 
And manner so mild.
 
Sleep, sleep.
 
Beautiful child,
 
Know that I love you.
 
 
 
The sun is on its way
 
It was never meant to stay
 
Soon night will come most blue.
 
Know that I love you
 
 
 
Sleep, sleep.
 
Beautiful child.
 
Hands so cold,
 
And breath so wild
.
Sleep, sleep.
 
Beautiful child,
 
Know that I love you.
 
 
 
Night has finally come.
 
The crickets have quieted to a hum.
 
So I'll say my bye most true.
 
Know that I love you.
 
 
 
Sleep, sleep.
 
Beautiful child.
 
The battle is over,
 
The number's been dialed.
 
Sleep, sleep.
 
Beautiful child.
 
Know that I love you.

<p>I write because it&#39;s what I know. I&#39;m not a very expressive person on the outside, but with nothing more than words I can say what I need to say.</p>
