I wrote this track shortly after my brother's first child was born. I learned a lot about the bond between parents and children while watching my brother's family.
This song was a birthday gift to my new nephew, Gavin.
lyrics
SLEEP TIGHT
Words and Music by Tage Plantell
Goodnight little one now go to sleep
Dream all your dreams of what you will be
Nobody knows what you’ll see with your eyes
It’s all up to you what you do with your life
Sleep tight
Goodnight little one now close your eyes
You’ll grow big and strong and no doubt you’ll be bright
You’ll learn many things and find those unexplained
Sometimes life’s not fair but there are things you can change
Goodnight little one now don’t you cry
We’ll be here for you when you arise
Sleep sound just knowing that your Dad’s there for you
And Mom knows the sound of each breath that you do
