Lullaby

It’s two in the morning I’m trying to sleep
But you’re on my mind and the memories run deep
You always did love me you always did care
But you never did think I would get anywhere

But now I’m doing good and I still play guitar
I bought a computer I bought a new car
And I hear all about you how you’re doing great
Though you still live at home now at age twenty-eight

And having a baby was something I thought
I would do with you but I know now it's not
We just weren’t ready and it was too soon
You needed your mommy, I needed my moon

I was sad I was sick I was watching TV
You were in the kitchen you were making me tea
And I still can remember exactly the day
We had our big chance and we threw it away
And I sometimes I cry
For the love that we lost, although I’m doing fine

And if I’d never have left you, I’d never have found
The love of my life and I’m here with him now
But how can I tell him how can I explain
That sometimes I miss you I still hear your name

And you’ll always be with me, you’ll always be there
You’re deep in my heart you’re not going no where
And I’ll always remember the things that we had
And the things that we lost, you’d have made a great dad

And I, sometimes I cry
For the love that we lost, not to mention the life
And I, I know time still goes by
And some days we enjoy, and some days we survive

Two in the morning I’m thinking of how
I could be singing a lullaby now
