Joe Jackson Lullaby song lyrics

(feat. Matt Costa)

When you're so lonely

Lying in bed

Night's closed its eyes

But you can't rest your head

Everyone sleeping all through the house

You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Sing this lullaby to yourself

If you're waiting, waiting for me

I'll be home soon, darling, I guarantee

I'll be home someday just in one week

Dry up your tears if you start to weep

And sing this lullaby to yourself

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Lullaby

I'm not nearby

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Don't you cry, no don't you cry

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Cause when I arrive dear, it won't be that long

Now it won't seem like any time that I've been gone

It ain't the first time, it won't be the last

Won't you remember these words to help the time pass

So when you're so lonely

Lying in bed

Night's closed its eyes

But you can't rest your head

Everyone sleeping all through the house

You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby to yourself
