“Mama’s Old Lullaby”
4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
In the heart of the mountain, beneath the old pine tree
Mama used to sing a lullaby, a lullaby to me,
Stars glistening high above, and the moon she softly shone,
As mama’s voice would fill the night, a melody so warm.
(Chorus)
Oh, mama’s old lullaby, sweet as summer wine,
Echoes in the valleys, whispers through the pines,
In the heart of the mountain, with the falling of the night,
Mama’s old lullaby, bringing love and light.
(Verse 2)
Days of laughter, days of tears, the seasons ebb and flow,
Mama’s old lullaby, the only truth we know,
Through the winter’s biting chill, or the summer’s scorching heat,
Her melody would guide us home, a compass when we’re beat.
(Chorus)
Oh, mama’s old lullaby, strong as mountain stone,
Steady as the river flow, through our hearts it has flown,
In the heart of the mountain, with the break of dawn’s light,
Mama’s old lullaby, our beacon in the night.
(Bridge)
Now the years have rolled on by, mama’s taken her rest,
Still her lullaby lives on, within our old breast,
Her song, a guiding light, in every note, her might,
In the heart of the mountain, in the stillness of the night.
(Chorus)
Oh, mama’s old lullaby, pure as morning dew,
A memory held so close, a love forever true,
In the heart of the mountain, under the starry night,
Mama’s old lullaby, forever our guiding light.
