I remember years ago when I was just a boy
Every evening
I would fall asleep to the sound of my father's voice

And he said to me
This will take you safely through the night
So drift away to my, father's lullaby


Lay your body down
Rest your weary head awhile

Close your eyes and fly away till morning
Over fields of green mountainside you've ever seen
When you're in these arms of mine

I will sing my father's lullaby

The boy got older

Here I am and now those days are gone
When I miss him
I can always find some comfort in that song

Maybe someday
I'll have children of my own saying goodnight
Listening to my father's lullaby


Lay your body down
Rest your weary head awhile

Close your eyes and fly away till morning
Over fields of green mountainside you've ever seen
When you're in these arms of mine

I will sing my father's lullaby

When I lay my body down

Rest my weary head awhile
Close my eyes and fly away till morning
Over fields of green mountainside you've ever seen

Let me hear it one last time
Will you sing my father's lullaby
I will sing my father's lullaby
