Lullaby

I give you stars and sunshine
A rainbow at your feet each time you rise
So dry your eyes
The house of yesterday is crumblin' at my feet
But I don't mind, I had my time

I am but yesterday
And you my child, tomorrow
There's nothing I can give you
For you have more than me
You are the truth within your youth

I watch you dance and playing
The little prince of all that you survey
Each night, each day
I am the good old days
And you my child, tomorrow

If I have any future it is within your eyes
Each time you smile my child, my child
The hand of life will rock you
I brought you forth
And then my task was through
I give to you this wondrous view
