My Love (Lullaby)
Mackenzie Ferry Nov 2015
Hush now, my love
Don't you cry
Nightingales sing your lullaby.
Rest now, my love
Close your eyes
Sweet dreams till sunrise.

Oh, my precious one
You're the song I sing
To Heaven above.
Close your eyes
And dream sweet dreams
Sleep now, my love.

I had listened "Noble Maiden Fair" from Brave several time to find inspiration for a traditional lullaby. A relationship between a mother and child.

I want to compose a melody that would sound Celtic-related. I admire New Age songs because every melody a singer sings makes it relaxing, emotional and serene.

This lyric is short and descriptive, but I hope I find a way to make it sound serene as though I would hear it in a forest, meadow, over a mountain, or from the waves of the sea. God, help me.

Believe me, I can play a piano, but it takes a lot of brainstorming and hard work. Plus, I'm an amateur when it comes to reading music. It's like reading a new language. It stresses me out, too.
