Livingston Taylor - Hush A Bye Lyrics
Nail and stone it was my lifeAnd dreams were always grown.I'd build lovers into wivesAnd dreams into fine homes.As simple as it seemed to me,You would not see me smiling,And I would cry to watch you tryTo live your life to die.So hush a byeDon't you cryGo to sleep my love;Dry your eyesAnd dream ofYou're the one I love.I did pray to be like youTo be part of your life,But you were lost to richer landsYour friends to foot the price.And somewhere I just saw clearlyWhat you were thinking ofThe diff'rence 'tween us must have beenThat someone gave me love.(repeat chorus)
