Alishia May Lullaby For Her Tonight
He’s sitting on the back porch.
He’s tying his shoes, looking in the window.
He sees her drinking more than she can take.
He’s praying to God, wishing she saw her flaw.
Nothing’s gone and nothing floating in the wind.
This is a lullaby for her tonight.
She’s not alone in this world.
This is for him and her.
Above the rest, they care,
For what she’s going to be.
She’s stumbling down the stairs,
She’s too drunk to think about her kids tonight.
She doesn’t know how much it hurts them.
They’re praying to God, wishing she would look again.
But nothing’s gone and no one’s saying goodbye.
This is a lullaby for her tonight.
She’s not alone in this world.
This is for him and her.
Above the rest, they care,
For what she’s going to be.
Stop! This life He says. Stop it now.
You’re hurting us, but you don’t know how.
You’re making your life shorter every day.
We’ll be missing you if go some day.
Lullaby for her tonight.
Not alone in this world.
This is for him and her.
Above the rest, they care,
Lullaby for her tonight.
This is a lullaby for her tonight.
She’s not alone in this world.
This is for him and her.
Above the rest, they care,
For what she’s going to be.
For what she’s going to be in this life.
Going to be in this life.
