This song came out of an alternate songwriting assignment at CCMC one year during a Cosy Sheridan songwriting class. I was having trouble relating to the class assignment, so she suggested that I write a lullaby. And this came out fairly quickly in almost its complete form (very rare for me). - Paul Fifield

Don't You Cry (A Lullaby)

Don’t you cry, night goes by                                      
Morning comes before you know
Sunlight fills the sky
            
Don’t you fear, I am here                                                                                                                                      
Let me hold you for a while
And chase away your fear

   Sometimes when the darkness comes,
   Scary thoughts arise                          
   They’ll be gone in just a wink
   If you’ll just close your eyes    
                       
   Sometimes when the darkness comes,
   Scary thoughts arise                          
   They’ll be gone in just a wink
   If you’ll just close your eyes        

Don’t you cry, night goes by                                      
Morning comes before you know
And sunlight fills the sky

Morning comes before you know
And sunlight fills the sky
