Aubrey's Lullaby
(Copyright © Kenny Jacobs, 2003)

Baby's finally gone to sleep
I pray the Lord her soul to keep
She's been cryin' half the night
Ever since I turned out the lights
Oh but babies need to cry sometimes
Babies need to cry sometimes

I lay her down so gently
She probably won't miss me
Fast asleep in Daddy's arms
A silent victim of all his charms
Oh and babies need to sleep sometimes
Babies need to sleep sometimes

I feel a tear come creepin'
As I watch her sleepin'
She's a gift from God above
Amazing grace, amazing love
Oh and Daddies need to cry sometimes
Yes'n Daddies need to cry sometimes
