Jack Johnson Month Day 12

Song: Lullaby

Artist: Jack Johnson feat. Matt Costa, Sing-A-Long Songs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George

Today is my younger brother's 23rd birthday! 🎂🥳🎈 (I totally thought he was turning 22! 🤯 I just had to go do the math...HOW is he 23!?!). The same brother who received this Jack Johnson album for his birthday all those years ago! Wow! He was only 7!  Time flies.

I am choosing this song today because I remember my brother really liked it when he was little 😊 And it's truly such a sweet lullaby. I remember listening to this song years ago when I was away from home and couldn't sleep....and I've sung it to many children over the years including, most recently, my niece and nephew! It will never not be good!

When you're so lonely lying in bed

Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head

Everyone's sleeping all through the house

You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Sing this lullaby to yourself

And if you are waiting, waiting for me

Know I'll be home soon darling I guarantee

I'll be home Sunday just in one week

Dry up your tears if you start to weep

And sing this lullaby to yourself

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Lullaby, I'm not nearby

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Don't you cry, no don't you cry

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long

No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone

It ain't the first time it won't be the last

Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?

So when you're so lonely lying in bed

Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head

Everyone's sleeping all through the house

You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby

Sing this lullaby to yourself
