This is not a lullaby,
one that makes you close your eyes
Here's a song that will not try
to hold you in my arms
This is not a true love song,
one that lifts your heart along
Because you know it's being sung
to hold you in my arms
The rain it falls
right outside your door
and you know if you call
I'll be there, I'll be there
whatever you call me for
This is just a quiet tune,
to bring the light into your room
When I'm not right in front of you
to hold you in my arms
This is not a lullaby
to keep the clouds out of the sky,
to be sure you will not cry
when I hold you in my arms
I'm gonna hold you in my arms
