 Struggling with Bedtime? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I held you
I rocked you to sleep
It'd take a long time
But eventually, you'd go

And I'd try to get out
Of the rocking chair
With you in my arms

I'd get you to your crib
Slowly lower you down
Then pull my hands away
As if from a bomb

Then I'd step away
One step at a time
The floors were full of sounds
All the creaks for time

Then I'd get to the door
Open it carefully
Try and back out of the room so quietly

When I'd got to the door
Closed to within an inch
That's when you'd come awake
As if you'd been watchin' me

Watching me the whole time
As if you waited to see
If I truly intended

Just to let you be
Just to leave
Just to leave you alone
Just to leave you alone

How you would cry
And I'd come back
Yeah, I'd come back
And lift you up

Sit back down with you
Try to start all over again
Start slowly rocking again
Start all over again
We'd start all over again
I'd come back
Lift you up
Start all over again
