~Lullaby!~
One of the most honest and hardest songs of my life to write. Because it was so real and raw as it was happening in my life, trying to write a song/story about it while living through it! This piece is part of the Album: Just Jen: Not Necessarily Love Songs! From the Box Set of: Melodies of Israel! Thanks for your interest and support!
~ Lullaby ~
Verse 1....
When there’s nothing else left
That you can do,
Accept to sing a lonesome lullaby
When there’s nothing else left
That you can do
To help get you through,
Not understanding why
You’ve been left
To feel this way,
As you live through your life
Each and every day
Again and Again and Again
Again and Again and Again
Again and Again and Again
Chorus...
You crawl into bed
Every night all alone,
Holding your pillow tight
Knowing that it might
Just stay that way,
Again and Again and Again
Verse 2...
Your mailbox is empty
So you know to stay away,
Never a card or two
And No Valentines
Ever sent to you,
Never a first kiss
Under a mistletoe
A feeling you would love to know
Verse 3...
As you crawl out of bed
Each and every day,
You know the only thing
That you can do,
Is to cry and to pray
To find the strength
To get you through,
Reminding you you’re
Not all alone
Even though at times,
It feels that way
Again, and Again, and Again
Again and Again and Again
Verse 4...
When there’s nothing else left
That you can do,
To ease the pain in you,
When there’s nothing else left
That you can do,
To help get you through;
You crawl into bed every night all alone
Holding your pillow tight
Knowing that it might
Just stay that way,
Again, and Again, and Again
Again, and Again, and, Again
Again and Again and Again
Verse 5...
As you sleep at night all alone
Losing out on pillow talk
That you know should be there,
Thinking of the message from your heart
That you were trying to get through,
And how it may never find its way
To the one you meant for it too!
So as you sing that lullaby
Knowing that what you’ve lost
Is certainly true,
As you live through your life
Each and every day,
You’re wondering if
They’ll ever be
Someone new
Who can fill your heart
The way you need him too?
Chorus...
As you crawl into bed
Every night all alone,
Holding your pillow tight
Knowing that it might
Just stay that way,
Again, and Again and Again
Again and Again and Again!
Intended (longer ending)
Verse 6...
When there’s nothing else left
That you can do,
To ease the pain in you,
When there’s nothing else left
That you can do,
To help get you through;
You crawl into bed every night all alone
Holding your pillow tight
Knowing that it might
Just stay that way,
Again, and Again, and Again
Again and Again and Again
Again and Again and Again
Verse 7 & Chorus change up...
When there’s nothing else left
That you can do,
Accept to sing a lonesome lullaby
When there’s nothing else left
That you can do
To help get you through,
Not understanding why
You’ve been left
To feel this way
As you live through your life
Each and every day
Again, and Again, and Again!
Again, and Again, and Again and Again!
