Van Dyke Parks
Rock-a-Bye My Baby
[Verse 1]
I’m humming a melody
Something from the old times
Rock-a-bye my baby
(Rock-a-bye my baby)
She’s wearing a pretty dress
She looks great to me
Oh, rock-a-bye my baby
[Chorus]
Don’t you cry, little diamond
I’m here with you now
We’ll never go
From now on
I’ll never go
[Verse 2]
You are so pretty
And your lips are little roses
Rock-a-bye my baby
(Rock-a-bye my baby)
Hear this song I’m singing
Funny melody of love
Oh, rock-a-bye my baby
[Chorus]
Don’t you cry, little diamond
I’m here with you now
We’ll never go
From now on
This you should know
[Bridge]
On a clear day
The sky is blue
And the breeze is soft
With the songs of birds
And the night stares at the moon
And the sounds of love
Play around in this old tune
You’re the one I see here with me
[Verse 1]
I’m humming a melody
Something from the old times
Rock-a-bye my baby
(Rock-a-bye my baby)
She’s wearing a pretty dress
She looks great to me
Oh, rock-a-bye my baby
[Chorus]
Don’t you cry, little diamond
I’m here with you now
We’ll never go
From now on
I’ll never go
