lyrics

Oh, Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye
Rock-a-bye my baby

When you were a little baby on my knee
Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye
Under the shade of a big oak tree
Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye
I’d sing to you my little songs
Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye
You couldn’t make words but you’d babble on
Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye

No if, no doubt, no maybe
You’ll always be my baby
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Rock-a-bye my baby

Oh you learned to crawl, then you learned to walk
Pretty soon you learned to talk
Bah Bah Mahley were your first words
Get Up, Stand Up, Three Little Birds
Every Little Thing’s Gonna Be Alright
Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye
You kept me running all day and night
Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye

Ain’t nothing that could sway me
You’ll always be my baby
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Rock-a-bye my baby

Off to school when you turned five
You were fine but I had to cry
Under the shade of the big oak tree
I’d sing my little songs to me
Seven years old on your first bike
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
First you fell, then you learned to fly
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

One thing never changes
You’ll always be my baby
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Rock-a-bye my baby


Even when you’re big and tall
When you think you don’t need me at all
I’ll hold you in my arms again
In case we need remembering

Rock-a-bye my baby
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Rock-a-bye my baby
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

No matter what your age is
You’ll always be my baby
No if, no doubt, no maybe
You’ll always be my baby
Even when you’re eighty
You’ll always be my baby
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Rock-a-bye my baby

Sara Lovell Berkeley, California

Sara Lovell's third children’s music album in less than four years, Night Life, celebrates the hours leading to bedtime and the magical worlds we enter when we finally fall sleep. As with her last two award winning albums, the new release moves beautifully between diverse musical genres – at moments riotous and full of unrestrained joy, at other moments tender, introspective and melodic. ... more
