My wife and I are expecting a baby this June, and I wanted to surprise her with an original song for the baby (which I would perform at her baby shower). After I started writing it, I decided it would work best as a duet (for now it"s me singing both parts).

Your First Lullaby (Love is All You Need)
Music and lyrics by Matt Glickstein

Verse 1:
(Dad)
Cant wait to know you soon
hold your tiny hand
witness each step you take
help you if I can

(Mom)
Discover all your likes
Things that make you laugh
Will you be like mom or dad?
(Both)
Well give you all the love we have

Chorus (Both):
This song is for you,
its your first lullaby
and well sing you to sleep
as we hold you at night
Rest, close your eyes,
and imagine your dreams
Know that anythings possible if you believe
But love is all you need

Verse 2:
(Mom and Dad alternating)
Youre our lucky star
within our constellation
the best parts from both of us
A special combination

Whatever you do
Wherever you go
(Both)
Well be there for highs and lows
and everyday our love will grow 

Chorus (Both):
This song is for you,
its your first lullaby
and well sing you to sleep
as we hold you at night
Rest, close your eyes,
and imagine your dreams
Know that anythings possible if you believe
But love is all you need


Bridge (both):
And we know things will change 
from what we knew
But wed never go back to life without you

Chorus (both):
This song is for you,
its your first lullaby
and well sing you to sleep
as we hold you at night
Rest, close your eyes,
and imagine your dreams
Know that anythings possible if you believe
But love is all you need
