Lullaby for Amanda

Dedicated to the Love of My Life

The sun set long ago, my dear

and it's time to go to bed

though you would stay up for years

to simply kiss my forehead

But, my dear, there's tomorrow

and we can take a walk then

to forget about your present sorrow

I will even take your hand

I will not go anywhere

I just want to hold on to you

as you doze off to Neverland

and murmur something 'bout truth

Goodnight, darling Amanda

I wish you the sweetest dreams

You deserve more than I can give

in our sad reality

Amanda, can you hear me

while you rest on my lap?

If so, know you're so pretty

I don't know why you love me back
