about

Waltzing On Waves presents Sweet Baby, the 5th release from her upcoming album. This lullaby is a hug for the soul and is filled with hope for love, light, and life! Though written quite recently, its nostalgic arrangement will transport you to a 1930's Hollywood movie musical.

This piece was arranged, recorded, and produced in part with funds from the Minnesota Emerging Composers Award, awarded by the American Composers Forum, supported by the Jerome Foundation.

lyrics

Sweet Baby

Oh, Sweet Baby

Don't you let it get you down

You'll be quite alright,

I'll stay with you all night

Your time is comin' 'round

You find your feet are on the ground

So, sleep now sweet baby of mine

Oh, Sweet Baby

I've told you this a thousand times

You're lovely as you are

Your sparkle, as the stars

The brilliance of your light

Has traveled centuries of nights

So, sleep now sweet baby of mine

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep now

Sleep now

Oh, Sweet Baby

We won't let it get us down

We'll be quite alright,

I'll sing us through dark nights

Our time is comin' 'round

We'll find our feet are on the ground

So, sleep now sweet baby

Sleep now sweet baby

Sleep now sweet baby of mine
