"My Yuletide Lullaby," A MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROL

VERSE:                          

Tonight, I hold you in my arms,

Soft and tender.

I try to keep you from all harm,

Love you forever.

 

PRE-CHORUS:                

You are my son.

You are a savior.

You are my love.

You are a baby.

 

CHORUS:                      

So, I sing this cradle song.

So, I guard you all night long.

I sooth you as you cry,

With my yuletide lullaby.

 

VERSE:                          

You are not mine; it’s understood.

Time has a purpose.

I give you back to God for good.

I must have courage.

 

PRE-CHORUS:                

Sleep in peace.

Peace be still.

Sleep and dream.

Dream God’s will,

For the world.

 

CHORUS:                      

So, I sing this cradle song.

So, I guard you all night long.

I sooth you as you cry,

With my yuletide lullaby.
My yuletide lullaby.

 

BRIDGE:                        

I bless you with my tears.

My heart will not give way to fear, oh.

 

CHORUS:                      

So, I sing this cradle song.

So, I guard you all night long.

I sooth you as you cry,

With my yuletide lullaby.
My yuletide lullaby, my yuletide lullaby.
