about

This is an intimate song I wrote for my baby sister, Genesis. She is a sweet little thing who has trouble sleeping. Initially this song was only intended to be heard by Genesis, but from the advice of encouraging ears, this song is now yours. A gift from me & the inspiration of my sister. I hope this song influences hope & optimism for your journey ahead.

lyrics

Say goodnight and I’ll be there
Don’t wait up much longer please dear
Say goodnight and just let your eyelids close
Long until the day nears
Reflect on the time you’ve spent here
Say goodnight and awaken to your soul

You may say that the hour is young
You will thank me as the morning light comes
Sweet little lady you are my sun
Sleep soundly my love

Say goodnight to all you can’t change
Say good morning to the life you’ll make
Say goodnight to the people who treat you wrong
Send your soul away somewhere
Rest assured that you’ll find love there
Dream a story that you’d be proud to tell

You may say that the hour is young
You will thank me as the morning light comes
Sweet little lady you are my sun
Sleep soundly my love

You may say that the hour is young
You will thank me as the morning light comes
Sweet little lady you are my sun
Sleep soundly my love
