From the recording Strings Attached
The song, Slumbering Eyes, is dedicated to the memory of my grand nephew, Wyatt Andrew Johansen, and hope for all children.
Lyrics
If I had to describe green
without greed or envy
I might have a pretty tough time
with no fields to back up my story
I wish I could cradle the babe
assure everything’s all right
lullabies for slumbering eyes
sweet dreams through the night
If I had to give you blue
without tears of sadness
I’d take you to a place inside
away from all this outer madness
I wish I could cradle the babe
assure everything’s all right
lullabies for slumbering eyes
sweet dreams through the night
If I could give you golden rays
to forever keep your heart warm
and in turn if you could do the same
oh then what a world of wonders
I wish I could cradle the babe
assure everything’s all right
lullabies for slumbering eyes
sweet dreams through the night
through the night
through the night
