Livingston Taylor Hush A Bye
Nail and stone it was my life
And dreams were always grown.
I built lovers into wives
And dreams into fine homes.
As simple as it seemed to me,
You would not see me smiling,
And I would cry to watch you try
To live your life to die.
So hush a bye
Don't you cry
Go to sleep my love;
Dry your eyes
And dream of
You're the one I love.
I did pray to be like you
To be part of your life,
But you were lost to richer lands
Your friends to foot the price.
And somewhere I just saw clearly
What you were thinking of
The diff'rence 'tween us must have been
That someone gave me love.
(repeat chorus)
