Nick Lachey Father's Lullaby lyrics

Remember when I was small
my first memory
i count the shadows on the wall
too restless to dream
my dad came in to tuck me in when i couldn't sleep
and he'd comfort me with this melody

here's my father's lullaby
baby you don't have to cry
now it's time to close your eyes
let's say goodnight
with my fathers lullaby
now it's yours like it was mine
so it's time to close your eyes and say goodnight

I wonder where the time has gone
as i hold your hand
it seems like only yesterday
he stood where i stand
now i come in to tuck you in
as history repeats
can i comfort you like he taught me too

now here's my fathers lullaby

baby you don't have to cry
now it's time to close your eyes
let's say goodnight
with my fathers lullaby
now it's yours like it was mine
so it's time to close your eyes and say goodnight

'cause i hope
that someday
when daylight has gone
you'll be singing these same words to your little one

here's my father's lullaby
baby you don't have to cry
now it's time to close your eyes
let's say goodnight
with my fathers lullaby
now it's yours like it was mine
so it's time to close your eyes and say goodnight

goodnight
