Hayley's Lullaby

(album: You Are Only As Sick As Your Secrets - 2023)

Here we are, you and me and my guitar
Let's write a pretty lullaby so you can fall asleep at night
While I'm out in the world making people smile
Tomorrow I'll be on a flight
Let's save this moment you and I in a pretty lullaby

Don't you grow until I'm nearby
On the phone it doesn't feel right
I don't want to miss it

Even on the worst day just looking at your face
Is all it takes to cancel out any pain I know
Life can throw anything
At me, I'm not backing, I'll keep you safe
No matter what I will follow, follow through

Terrified, the second you arrived
But then you held my finger tight
Your little smile destroyed everything bad I had inside
Now you be good tonight
Will you sing your lullaby
When mama carries everything and I stand in the lights

Don't you grow until I'm nearby
On the phone it doesn't feel right
I don't want to miss it

Even on the worst day just looking at your face
Is all it takes to cancel out any pain I know
Life can throw anything
At me, I'm not backing, I'll keep you safe
No matter what I will follow, follow through

Maybe one day we'll all be singing
Your lullaby, your lullaby
And music boxes everywhere be playing
Your lullaby, Hayley's lullaby

Even on the worst day just looking at your face
Is all it takes to cancel out any pain I know
Life can throw anything
At me, I'm not backing, I'll keep you safe
No matter what I will follow, follow through
Life can throw anything
No matter what, I will follow through

Here we are, you and me and my guitar
Let's write a pretty lullaby so you can fall asleep
