lyrics

He went off with a beat up truck
A hundred dollars and his daddy’s luck
He met a girl with eyes of blue
That night she showed him her tattoo but
She said “I can’t sit here waiting for the sun to shine
Say you love me, or say goodbye”
So he took her hand in the pale moonlight

Chorus:
And he was singing lullabies
Gazing into new eyes

He went off a world war to fight
He came home a stranger to his wife
A missing leg and a weary soul
He thought a little touch would make him whole but
He lost his job just about the time her water broke but
Ten toes and a tiny smile
Somehow helped them both start over

Chorus:
‘cause they were singing lullabies
gazing into new eyes

Granddad lived to see ninety-three
He got there by never taking nothing for free
Always had more bad luck than good
But he never said an angry word
And when the doctor gave him
Three months, said it was cancer of the bone
He died with a smile on his face
The day his tenth grandchild was born

Chorus:
And we were singing lullabies
Gazing into new eyes

We’ll keep singing lullabies
Gazing into new eyes
