Prologue
“I work at night in the city, I’ve gone so far away from you daddy. I just want a life for you, baby. All on my own, no one will come. I’ve got to save you. I will always tell you, ‘Oh, love, no one’s ever gonna hurt you, love. I’m gonna give you all of my love. Nobody matters to me like you do.’ So, rockabye, baby, rockabye, I’m gonna rock you. Rockabye, baby, don’t you cry. I’m gonna rock you. Rockabye, baby, don’t you cry, Rockabye.
“Now I’ve got a six month old, trying to keep you warm, trying to keep you out of the cold. When you look in my eyes, you don’t even know you’re safe when you hear me say, ‘Oh, love, no one’s ever gonna hurt you, love. I’m gonna give you all of my love. Nobody matters to me like you do.’ So, rockabye, baby, rockabye, I’m gonna rock you. Rockabye, baby, don’t you cry. I’m gonna rock you. Rockabye, baby, don’t you cry, Rockabye.
“Now I’ve got a six month old, trying to keep you warm, trying to keep you out of the cold. When you look in my eyes, you don’t know how safe you are when I say, ‘Oh, love, no one’s ever gonna hurt you, love. I’m gonna give you all of my love. Nobody matters to me like you do.’ I promise you when I say, ‘Your life won’t be anything like my life. You’re gonna grow and have a good life. I’m gonna do what I’ve gotta do.’
“So, rockabye, don’t cry. Lift your head up, lift it to the sky. Rockabye, don’t you cry. Angels surround you, just dry your eyes, yeah. Rockabye, please don’t cry. Lift your head up, lift it up to the sky. Rockabye, don’t you cry. Angels surround you, just dry your eyes. Rockabye, baby, rockabye.”
