Topic: "My Daughter's Lullaby"

This is just a little good night song for my daughter who’s sleeps far away from home.

My Daughter’s Lullaby By Jeff Gilpin


July 13th, 2008




Verse 1


To[C]night when you go to sleep my [G]baby


I want you to think what you mean to [C]me


The world today could not get more [G]crazy


But because of you it makes sense you [C]see


[Am]You bring beauty where it’s [Em]missing


[Am]Shine where only darkness can be [Em]found [G]


So to[C]night as you fall asleep my [G]baby


Remember I love you as you sleep [C]sound




Verse 2


instrumental

X------0-----3-----5-----7----8----7---3—1—0----10—10—10—10---8----0----1---5---3---0-----3--

X----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


back to vocal

[Am]Keep the world filled with [Em]beauty


[Am]Keep the smile of wonder on my [Em]face [G]


Be [C]safe and remember it’s your [G]duty


To keep the world we live in filled with [C]grace


So good [Am]night


Sleep [Em]tight [G]


Good [C]night

Re: "My Daughter's Lullaby"

Hi Jeff,

Well I think that is the first time I have seen the tabs of an instrumental included for a song in this section, well done.

Lovely song for your daughter, I thought it played very well (although I was a bit messy with the instrumental - I need more practise) and the lyrics are beautiful. I hope you are going to record it for her then we might get a chance to hear it too.

Re: "My Daughter's Lullaby"

Hey Roger - I thought I'd try something new and the tabs help people reading it to know how the lyrics sound too, at least in the first part of the verse. I kept it simple as this was first time with tabs. Thanks - I will record it but need to work on the tabs as I'm a little sloppy with them too and kind of why I wrote it like this. At least  it gives me something I can practice on.

Re: "My Daughter's Lullaby"

Hey Lena - I would if I could but alas she, my dog not my daughter, is too attached to me. Yeah, I miss my daughter a bit even though she has be back for a visit fairly often. I'm a typical father I guess, smitten by his little girl.

Re: "My Daughter's Lullaby"

Hello Jets. Nice to see a lullaby. I wrote one for my kids as well. Where can I hear it?
I checked your Myspace but it did not have it on it.
