Baby, Let Me Rock You to Sleep

Happy Birthday to my sweet, funny, smart Jacob! In honor of his 8th birthday, I wanted to share a song I wrote for him when he was a baby. One night as I was rocking him to sleep I felt like Heaven let me catch the vision of my role as his mother. I saw not only my tiny baby who needed me to rock him to sleep that night, but a little boy who would still need me, in different ways, as a teenager. I imagined my Jakey all grown up as well and how I would need him someday. A song started forming in my mind and I began singing it softly to him. As soon as baby Jacob had drifted off to sleep, I ran (literally) downstairs to my piano and finished writing this lullaby.

In 2008 I was in Nashville recording the album "Up Kind of Day" with Marla Cilley, the FlyLady. We were able to have this song recorded at Omni Studios as a possible track for the CD. I was blown away with this recording and with Eric Dodge's incredible vocals. Thanks to John Carter (Thirteen/Eight Productions) for the final mix as well. I'm not very current on my scrapbooks or my kids' journals, but I hope Jacob realizes how much his momma loves him each time he hears this song. Happy Birthday Jakers!

Baby, Let Me Rock You to Sleep

Her baby boy, just two weeks old
Up all night again
She paces the floor and tries once more
To sing him an old lullaby

Baby, let me rock you to sleep
Let me hold you close to my heart
Till you drift away, my arms keep you safe
Then your angels will watch through the night
Baby, let me rock you to sleep
Let me dry the tears that you cry
The stars up above will shine on my love
And your slumber sweet
So baby, let me rock you to sleep

That baby boy, sixteen years old
Up all night again
His first broken heart, he knocks on her door
And asks for that old lullaby

Baby, let me rock you to sleep
Let me hold you close to my heart
Till you drift away, my arms keep you safe
Then your angels will watch through the night
Baby, let me rock you to sleep
Let me dry the tears that you cry
The stars up above will shine on my love
And your slumber sweet
So baby, let me rock you to sleep

But the seasons change, and life goes on
And baby boys grow up, move on
And a momma's old, and all alone
She asks for that old lullaby
He loves her so, so he tries

Momma, let me rock you to sleep
Let me hold you close to my heart
Till you drift away, my arms keep you safe
Then your angels will watch through the night
Momma, let me rock you to sleep
Let me dry the tears that you cry
The stars up above will shine on my love
And your slumber sweet
Momma, let me rock you to sleep

Baby, let me rock you to sleep
