Noontime Lullaby

A romantic engagement.

NOONTIME LULLABY


I watch the wispy clouds slowly dance across the sky.
Ever changing as they give a glimpse of a noontime lullaby.

Spread out on a blanket in the middle of this field
All our dreams are before us. In front of me you kneel.

Before you speak your words to me, you cast your eyes above
Asking for His blessing to share a lifelong love.

For many years we've known that we were meant to be as one.
Those clouds take on the shape of turtledoves against the sun.

And with a flutter of their wings, I hear the angels sing
A noontime... lullaby

Just at that moment, you hand me a diamond ring.
The implication that it brings makes my heart dance and sing.

I receive that band of promise with a sparkle in my eyes,
Knowing I'm accepting you into my daily life.

Your voice, it is so soothing
I can see in my mind's eye
All those wispy clouds above us
In that sweet September sky
When you sang me
A noontime... lullaby

You're the one who stole my love like a thief in the night.
Sing me a noontime lullaby, and wrap your arms around me tight.

You've taken me away from all the pain that I have known,
And now we have a chance to start a life of our own.

Sing to me again in that deep, southern voice
A noontime lullaby makes my heart and soul rejoice.

Baby, I am telling you I'm forever yours to keep.
So, lay me down gently and sing me quietly to sleep.

I need to hear your noontime... lullaby.
