paroles de chanson Cradle and All - Audra McDonald

It′s time I sing this song for her
She never sang for me
The one about the child falling from the family tree
It's not like she didn′t love me
No, that I'd never believe
It was just so hard for her to give
And even harder to recieve
So hush, oh hush, don't you cry
I′m singing to you this lullaby
So tiny so fragile
Where once you stood tall
Oh hush, oh hush, don′t you forget
Your melody isn't over yet
And I will forgive you
As you will forget
Oh down will come baby, cradle and all
Oh down will come baby, cradle and all
It′s time I wrote that song for him
He couldn't write for me
He was not the type to jump for joy
Hand out cigars for free
It′s not like he didn't love me
No, that I couldn′t concieve
There are many ways a man can stay
And many ways that he can leave
So hush, oh hush, don't you cry
I'm writing this simple lullaby
The girl in the doorway
Who′s bouncing the ball
Oh hush, oh hush, don′t you fear
For if you are far, or if you're near
Pretend that you are here now,
To sing in my ear
Oh down will come baby, cradle and all
Down will come baby, cradle and all
It′s time I wrote a song for her
Who harbors like a dream between
The here and there
It's time I wrote a song for him
Who vanished like a moon begin
The night′s glare
To who knows where
So hush, oh hush, don't you cry
I′m singing this simple lullaby
The house has a window
Where there was a wall
Oh hush, oh hush, don't be scared
I know that you tried
I know you cared
Let's put it behind us
Let noise in the heart
Oh down will come baby, cradle and all
Oh down will come baby, cradle and all
Cradle and all.
