Western Lullaby - Wendy Waldman

In the still of the night

I shall sing you a song

About the Wild West

And its opening

About the long rugged ride

And the frontiersman’s pride

And the way that a man

Meets his reckoning

Close your eyes

By the rushing river side,

For you know that tonight

We shall be leaving

Close you eyes

To my western lullaby

For you know that

Singin' is believin'

Put your saddle on right

We shall ride away tonight

Across the wide open

Sheets of the prairie

Climb the mountains beneath your head

In your green grassy bed

Leave behind your visions

Dark and dreary

Close you eyes

To my western lullaby

For you know that

Singin' is believin'

Close you eyes

To my western lullaby

For you know that

Singin' is believin'

Now in the heat of the day

We shall float our time away

So much, you will forget

All that I’m saying

But in the still of the night

I will hold you so tight

That you will be on your knees

And praying

Ooh ooh ooh …
