The Last Lullaby

verse one

You give me the cold shoulder
Like you can see right through
But if you'd sit and hold her
You'd see she looks like you
I know you didn't want a child
Didn't even want me
But as the tensioned air grew wild
We merged as one to be

chorus

Hush my darling, please don't cry
Momma's gonna hold you tight
Don't you heave and push aside
The silence in the dead of night
Only to you I'll make my vow
Sing one last lullaby
Whisper you sweet nothings now
Close your eyes and say goodbye

verse two

I don't wish I could take it back
As I'm rocking her to sleep
I seem to have developed a knack
And she doesn't make a peep
I just wish she could see her dad
I know you'd fall in love
How could meeting her be bad
She's angelic as a dove

chorus

verse three

I'll always love my little girl
Even if you missed the clues
She may have my golden curls
But her eyes are pools of you
You'll never hear her cry at night
And you'll never see her smile
At least she'll never see us fight
While you're still in denial

chorus x2

verse four

I prayed to God that we'd made three
So I could get my piece of you
I couldn't try to make you be
Someone who wasn't true
As I lay her down to sleep
She fades into the blue
'Til only shadows stay to creep
I lost my piece of you
