'Lullaby' by Brian Benham

Your troubled heart emotions show me
That there's so much more to you
Lift your fallen smile, make you mine, that's what I'll do
It's all up to you, if this is what you choose
Everything is so locked up so that no one can get close to you
Spin my world for me, I'd revolve around you

That's cause you're alright, and everything is fine
No reason in those reasons that you found to cry
You're OK, never leave you alone this way and I
I'd sing a song to you, and it goes like
A sweet sweet lullaby

I stumbled through the motions
Finding oceans at the sight of you
We're miles apart and I feel right next to you
This foreign distance will make us more persistent they say

That's cause you're alright, and everything is fine
No reason in those reasons that you found to cry
You're OK, never leave you alone this way and I
I'd sing a song to you, and it goes like
A sweet sweet lullaby, A little song to make you mine

Come on baby don't be shy, you know i'll stay with you
Tonight let's go

You know i'd risk it all to see us fall
To let go of the ghost when conversation comes to call
The past has passed, here's my chance at last
It's cause this love for you is something true
Baby it'll never pass

That's cause you're alright, and everything is fine
No reason in those reasons that you found to cry
You're OK, never leave you alone this way and I
I'd sing a song to you, and it goes like
A sweet sweet lullaby, A little song to make you mine
Come on baby don't be shy, you know i'll stay with you
Tonight let's go

Never leave you alone this way
I would risk it all to stay my lullaby love




Never leave you alone this way
I'd risk it all to stay in love

This song is from the heart that has been broken. My mom cheated on my dad when he was in Vietnam. She shamed herself. Something broke in dad and he left one day to heal in the wilderness. To this very day I have not seen nor spoken to him. I know he is alive and well. He has another family now. I have not tried to contact him, I don't want to bring the sadness back to him. By reminding him of a life he worked hard to forget. I love you daddy.

@brianrupp5974

Please try contacting him. You really should at least try. You deserve to have a relationship with him

@christopherremen2606

@tetesilcy9609
