New Song

I have been a fan of pianist Jim Brickman since I first heard his music.  Simple Things and The Gift were played during our wedding, and several of his were in our pre-ceremony compilation.

So, today when I was on itunes looking for Edelweiss and You Are My Sunshine (my main lullabies for the kids), and came across this great song, I had to buy it, too!

A Mother's Prayer by Carnie Wilson and Jim Brickman
Carnie Wilson/Jim Brickman

Jewel also has great lullabies on her newest CD.

:)  I love lullabies!  and I love my babies!!!!!!!!


A Mother’s Prayer
As I lay you down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
Cause I don’t need that much for me
This is a mother’s prayer

I prayed for angels by your side
Ask they watch you day and night
Walk with you all through your life
This is a mother’s prayer

I pray that all the dreams you dream come true
And every star you wish upon
Grants every wish times two
I hope one day you’ll get the chance
To truly see
What real love is
Like you’re showing me

As I watch you fast asleep
I close my eyes and pray for peace
Cause now it means much more to me
This is a mother’s prayer

And as you grow and the seasons pass
I hope that time won’t move too fast
Though it is too much to ask
This is a mother’s prayer

I pray that when you give your heart it’s true
And all the love you give away
Comes back to you times two
I hope one day you’ll get the chance
To truly see
What a real love is
And what you mean to me

In this great big world 
You can’t stay small forever
Cause before I know you’ll be grown
And standing on your own
But I hope these words are something that you’ll treasure
And you’ll get the chance to whisper them
To children of your own

I pray that all the dreams you dream come true
And every star you wish upon
Grants every wish times two
I hope one day you’ll get the chance
To truly see
What real love is
Like you’re showing me

This is a mother’s prayer
