So for my first post on here in months, I decided to post a lullaby I'm surprised no-one has posted here yet. It's from Billy Joel's River of Dreams album and was written for his daughter when his second marriage was failing. She asked him "What happens when people die?" but was actually asking whether she'd see her father again after her parents divorced. Billy wrote this song to answer his daughter's question and as an expression of his love for her.

I love it not only because I'm an unashamed Billy Joel fan but because it's such a good lullaby and gives me warm fuzzy feelings. It's got a lovely tune too.

Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)"

Words and Music by Billy Joel
From River of Dreams (1993)

Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark
And deep inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be
