For the daughters of two of my favorite people.
Bonfire Lullaby
Dannah studies my hands while I play
With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in her eyes
Mommy pulls little Cali in tight
Stealing a loving smile under cover of night
Curled up close she’s the perfect size
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in her eyes
Only love
Only all the love in the world
Only love
Only love for daddy’s little girls
What I would give for peace in their time
A world that forgot about war and hunger and crime
The two best reasons to make it all right
Are the little ones you’re holding tight
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in their eyes
Only love (Hush little darling now don’t say a word)
Only all the love in the world (Close your eyes)
Only love (Settle in nice, now don’t think twice)
Only love (All the love in the world) for daddy’s little girls
Dannah studies my hands while I play
Mommy pulls little Cali in tight
At the end of a runaround day
‘Neath the cover of night

Thanks! yeah my current recording set up leaves a lot to be desired. I like this song, though! Love the guitar intro, and the lyrics are very sweet and soothing

Keith - this is lovely - not only the song / guitar / vocals but also the sentiment and the slice of real life. This is a definition of beauty and serenity and... Love.
