Hush now, my love
Don't you cry
Nightingales sing your lullaby.
Rest now, my love
Close your eyes
Sweet dreams till sunrise.

Oh, my precious one
You're the song I sing
To Heaven above.
Close your eyes
And dream sweet dreams
Sleep now, my love.

I had listened "Noble Maiden Fair" from Brave several time to find inspiration for a traditional lullaby. A relationship between a mother and child.

I want to compose a melody that would sound Celtic-related. I admire New Age songs because every melody a singer sings makes it relaxing, emotional and serene.

This lyric is short and descriptive, but I hope I find a way to make it sound serene as though I would hear it in a forest, meadow, over a mountain, or from the waves of the sea. God, help me.

Believe me, I can play a piano, but it takes a lot of brainstorming and hard work. Plus, I'm an amateur when it comes to reading music. It's like reading a new language. It stresses me out, too.

Beautiful lyrics! For some reason, I kept reading it to the tune of Billy Joel's song "lullaby." :-) I could totally picture a mother singing it to her little one. Heck, it's comforting to me just to read the lyrics! Nicely done!

Why not hum? Or perhaps memorize the tune you make for it? I can't play any beautiful sounding instruments (I play a harmonica) nor can I read music. I would love to hear this. I can see you singing it to your future baby, while rocking slowly in a rocking chair.

I can see this in a Disney movie, but I can JUST imagine it being a song in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and sung by Fluttershy!

^^; Sorry, but I can't help it! Read the lyrics and it just popped up in my head!!

Not only it's a lover's lullaby. My mother sometime says "My love". For instance, if ask her "Mom", she'd answer, "Yes, my love?" It means I'm her precious child she cherishes.

Ahhh, I see. And it's so sweet of your mom to call you that. It shows that she has a strong bond between you and her.
