Verse 1 Hush, little baby, don't you cry Daddy can't sing you a lullaby The mockingbird won't sing tonight And there won't be a diamond ring in sight There's no need to cry, we all must die Some are brave and some are weak Some reach the end of the road they seek When God calls them to Heaven's shore They leave this world, but they're loved forevermore Chorus Memories go, memories last Like the moments that we shared in the past Life goes on, there's a better home Though we may feel we're all alone Give it all a break, take each day Go down to the lake and kneel to pray Let your heart heal, let yourself grow Take life in stride and let death go Verse 2 Daddy sang the lullaby to me A song of love as sweet as could be Now he's gone to the other side But his love is something time can't hide No diamond ring, no worldly thing Could ever mean as much as love For the precious gift that God gives us And though the tears may fill our eyes Love never ends when someone dies Chorus Memories go, memories last Like the moments that we shared in the past Life goes on, there's a better home Though we may feel we're all alone Give it all a break, take each day Go down to the lake and kneel to pray Let your heart heal, let yourself grow Take life in stride and let death go Bridge Let go, let go, that's how life goes God knows the path that each one knows One day we'll meet on Heaven's shore And hear that lullaby once more Final Verse Now hush, little baby, don't you cry Daddy has gone to the other side It's not about diamond rings Or all those earthly, worldly things Dad has gone where angels sing Where Heaven's bells and praises ring So let your life sing the lullaby And keep his love alive inside Final Chorus Memories go, memories last Like the moments that we shared in the past Life goes on, there's a better home And someday we won't walk alone Give it all a break, take each day Go down to the lake and kneel to pray Let your heart heal, let yourself grow Take life in stride and let death go Outro Hush, little baby, don't you cry Daddy's singing from the other side Life goes on, there's a better home And love remains when we're alone Let your life sing the lullaby... Let your life sing the lullaby.
