Cortez Lake - Forgotten Lullaby Lyrics

Dusty photo, album on the shelf Memories fading just like myself
Mom was gentle, hands were up in price Clouded by time as years go by
She used to sing to me every night A melody that made everything alright
Oh, how I long to hear that lullaby The one she sang when stars filled the sky

Her voice, a whisper, soft and sweet Now silence echoes down our street
I'd give anything to hear her sing That forgotten lullaby again
Oh, how I long to hear that lullaby The one she sang when stars filled the sky
Her voice, a whisper, soft and sweet Now silence echoes down our street

I'd give anything to hear her sing That forgotten lullaby again
Sitting by her bed, holding her hand She looks right through me, doesn't understand
I hum that tune, hoping she'll remember The love we shared, an eternal ember
She used to sing to me every night A melody that made everything alright

Oh, how I long to hear that lullaby The one she sang when stars filled the sky
She used to sing to me every night A melody that made everything alright
Oh, how I long to hear that lullaby The one she sang when stars filled the sky
Her voice, a whisper, soft and sweet Now silence echoes down our street

I'd give anything to hear her sing That forgotten lullaby again
In the quiet of the night I close my eyes real tight
And there she is, young and strong Singing our special song
Though time has stolen her away In my heart that song will stay

Oh, how I long to hear that lullaby The one she sang when stars filled the sky
Her voice, a whisper, soft and sweet Now silence echoes down our street
I'd give anything to hear her sing That forgotten lullaby again
Mama, if you can hear me now I'm singing our lullaby

Somehow your love lives on In every line of this forgotten lullaby of mine
