Oh, every night when the sun goes down,
People lay their burdens down, and sing...
La la, Lula... La la, Lula... Lullabye
I've never known a better way
To say goodnight to the day, than sing...
La la, Lula... La la, Lula... Lullabye
(Composed for our sweet Amy/David's daughter, Lula Sophia Zelina, born 03/31/10. There will no doubt be more verses as they occur to me. La-la means "Sleep..." in Swahili, but I didn't know that as the song came to me. I do have a digital/e-mailable recording of my singing it, if you're interested. I failed in my attempt to attach it here.)
And since her full name is Lula Sophia Zelina, I composed a song for Sophia as well:
Sleep, sweet Sophia...
Silently slip into slumber as I sing this song...
Sleep, sweet Sophia...
Swing with the stars as they circle the sky...
Sing along...
AND! How could I not borrow the tune of "Coventry Carol" - - thus:
La-la, Lula, thou little tiny child...
By, by, Lula, lullay.
Now close your eyes, until sunrise...
By, by, Lula, lullay.
