Lyrics Lullaby - John Pizzarelli

I wrote this song because of you
For all the things I meant to do
Lullaby, help me try to tell her

We were a star, we had it all
But even shooting stars must fall
Lullaby, tell me why

Oh, so many times I tried to say
Those things I felt inside
But words would hide from me

But there will come a time
When these words I say in rhyme
Will hold you in a whisper
And that whisper will be mine

So if you listen you will hear
A laughing smile, a silent tear
And when you hear these words
You'll know it is true, I wrote this lullaby for you
