Sheila Kaufman songs
Although this is a lullaby, when you get into it, I think it encompasses more than just that genre. Maybe that's just me, but it kind of has a world sound, a little Asian influence or something. I love Nadia's melody. When she approached me about doing the lyrics, I was honored.
Nadia's recording was done quite some time ago, with a single track, so, with my limited knowledge of recording in garageband it was interesting trying to get my vocals in there with the flutes...
But, here goes...
Would love to know what you think.
Nadia's Lullaby
(Eventide)
Music by Nadia Cripps
Lyrics by Sheila Kaufman
Hush little one, eventide has come,
Let's say goodnight to the day.
We had some fun, now day is done,
Tomorrow will come to play.
Close little eyes, you have a surprise
Waiting now in dreamland.
Waiting for you, maybe me too,
Close your eyes to see.
Little paper boat, watch it float,
Carry us down the stream.
Float with me, soon you'll be
Greeting a brand new day.
Climb up in a tree. How far can you see?
Only till earth meets sky.
Hush little one, your time will come.
You'll be grown up by and by.
Evening has come. Goodnight to the Sun.
Till you are grown and gone
I'll be by your side, every eventide,
Keeping you safe from harm.
Eevie Ivy Ollie Oxen Free.
You'll be right here with me
Eevie Ivy Ollie Oxen Free.
Dreaming of all you'll be.
Hush little one, eventide has come.
Hush little one, eventide has come.
