Jackson's Lullaby

As I was picking out songs for my playlist I knew I had to include Godspeed. I heard this song for the first time when I was pregnant with Jackson. I had just found out that I was having a little boy, so I guess I was about 18 weeks pregnant. When Bryan got home that night I played it for him right away and told him that this was "Jackson's Lullaby." He rushed to get his guitar and we had our first sing along with Jackson. We must have played and sang this song to him so many times when he was still inside my belly and I can't begin to count how many times I've sat in his glider upstairs lulling him to sleep to this sweet song. He sinks down deep in my arms at the first note of this song. I hope that one day he puts his own babies to sleep singing...

Godspeed
Dixie Chicks
Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirate's sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, will find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
GodspeedSweet dreams
God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
