about

Started writing this last night as an experiment with writing on the keyboard. Ended up writing this progression which sounded perfect for a lullaby, along with the first verse and chorus. Came back and finished it today. Little rough, as I don't even know how to play piano, but I like minimalistic aspect of it. Debated adding bass, but ultimately opted not to, in order to keep it sounding as intimate as possible. Took inspiration from "Dream a Little Dream of Me", as covered by a local band called Arriviste.

lyrics

Verse 1:
You know I whisper to you nightly
Hold you tightly, love you brightly till the dawn
But my words can't wrap around you
Like a blanket in the cold

Chorus:
Don't let me go
I wanna stay with you tonight
And every night

Don't let me go
I wanna stay

Verse 2:
Tuck the dreams under your shoulder
Feel it smolder, never colder than before
But my light can't keep an eye
On your unsuspecting smile

Chorus:
Don't let me go
I wanna stay with you tonight
And every night

Don't let me go
I wanna stay

Don't let me go
I wanna stay with you tonight
And every night

Don't let me go
I wanna stay

Verse 3:
And so, my light will linger on, dear
But never fear, cause I'll be here before the dawn
But your words can't keep me glued
To a dream inside your head

Chorus:
Don't let me go
I wanna stay with you tonight
And every night

Don't let me go
I wanna stay

Don't let me go
I wanna stay with you tonight
And every night

Don't let me go
I wanna stay
