HANNAH'S LULLABY

"You Can Close Your Eyes"

Well the sun is surely sinking down,
but the moon is slowly rising.
So this old world must still be spinning around,
and I still love you.

So close your eyes;
you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs,
and I can't sing the blues any more.
But I can sing this song,
and you can sing this song
when I'm gone.

It won't be long before another day.
We're gonna have a good time.
And no one's gonna take that time away.
You can stay as long as you like.

So close your eyes;
you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs,
and I can't sing the blues any more.
But I can sing this song,
and you can sing this song
when I'm gone.

James Taylor

This is the song I sing to Hannah before she falls asleep. I love the words to this song and the melody. She is usually out by the end of it. I hope she never asks me to stop singing it. Why are kids so sweet and innocent.
