The rain falls on my windowpane
In the corner of my closet I hide
I snuggle up close to my teddy bear
Who is nestled at my side
Tears stain my face
As I remember my mothers lullaby
I remember how she use to hold me
And sing it softly in my ear
With the slightest sound of her voice
It would melt away my fear
She would sing so soft and sweetly
Like her honeysuckle pie
She would sit and sing of fairies
Little people who could fly
She named them sort of names
That would be the loveliest to be named
They were magic and beautiful
She did proclaim
She would sing to me for hours
She told how I could be a fairy to
It was our secret no one not even father knew
she said sing my child
sing a song from your heart
let your soul take flight
And if the fairy's like it
You will hear them sing your songs every night
I would dream sweet dreams of mothers lullaby
The one night I didn't I woke to a cry
Mother was crying a wound found on her heart
I was scared
I was frightened
I just wanted to run
Mother seen and nestled her crying
To call me by her side
She sang to me her lullaby
The very last time
She said I am the song she sings
becauseto her life great joy I bring
I recite my mothers lullaby
As I'm crying oh so softly
Then I hear faint voice coming to me
I sang my mothers lullaby
As I was joined by some thing of pure beauty
I was startled at first but it did not scare me
She had my mother's eyes
She had her smile and nose
She had her hair and voice
It was her and this I know
She sang to me her lullaby
As I drifted to sleep
I dreamed of songs and fairies
And what mother came to be
