My friend Laura writes amazing songs, and she gave me the words to my favorite one last night!!! It goes like this:
Last night I couldn't sleep, too many things been going on
Didn't know what to do, so I thought back to when I was young
And when my mind would race back then, my mom would sing this little song
I couldn't quite remember the tune, but the words were going strong
It went like...
Hush little baby, don't say a word, your momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mocking bird won't sing, momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring falls apart, your momma's gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart falls down, you'll still be the sweetest baby in town
I soon fell asleep with a smile on my face
My dreams were filled with thoughts of my mom and all her crazy ways
Like when we didn't have food to eat, she'd simply take us out instead
And that silly song she'd sing to get us all to go to bed
It went like...
Hush little baby, don't say a word, your momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mocking bird won't sing, momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring falls apart, your momma's gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart falls down, you'll still be the sweetest baby in town
I love to think that she's still here with me
Sitting by my bed, singing...
Hush little baby, don't say a word, your momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mocking bird won't sing, momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring falls apart, your momma's gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart falls down, you'll still be the sweetest baby in town
