Lullabies of Hope
by Sandy M. HumphreyCould I put to rest your anger
If I sing it sweet lullabies
Tell it sweet dreams and wishes
Will ride in on moonbeams
As you slumber through the night
If I watch you sleep and stroke
A slip of hair from your furrowed brow
Will loneliness creep on tiptoes
Into the darkness of your past
If I whisper I love you
Before the morning breaks
Will you awake with the hope
Of a new day and the joy that awaits
Please tell me how I can reach you
You say only I have the key
I will lie down beside you and pray
Somehow you will let me love you
As close by I stay, somehow I stay
Praying I can put to rest your anger
As I sing it sweet lullabies
Moonlight streams through the windows
Bringing sweet dreams and wishes
As you slumber through the night
