Comes a time when the baby needs settling down
Hushabye Mountain is best that I found
A gentle breeze from the sweet music is all that she needs
A warm bottle helps her fall asleep as she feeds

Before long her sweet baby blue eyes are closed for the night
And I just be starin’ at my little darlin’ an angelic little sight
I just wonder how many times her heart will get broken
By some little boy and some cruel misguided words hastily spoken

She’ll always have daddy to run to and find comfort and all
That is until one day I won’t be there to cushion her fall
But maybe by then she’ll have a little one all of her own
The cycle of life will repeat and she’ll feel the beauty I’ve known

If it be written in the stars that those you’ve loved you'll never lose
And circumstances seemingly stand in the way of what you would choose
Then all you can be doing is just live and try to go with what's right
Live again love again breathe again with all of your might
