This one will be your last lullaby. Don't cry no tears from those eyes. This one will have to be our last goodbye, cause I see sleep deep in your eyes. When you get out there and you feel all alone, remember the places you used to call home. Think of the places that you have been recall the smiles and live them again. I have been in love with beggars and with thieves, been friends with people that just ain't like me but every now and again you find someone who is true and for your sake I hope you find someone who's true to you.
And it might take all of us a little bit longer to figure out what makes a man, but I can tell you myself from personal knowledge it's more than the gun in his hand.
And I know I'll be smiling when you last see me so I'll tell you what I can do: I will play on my guitar your last lullaby so you're asleep when I leave the room.
This one will be your last lullaby. Don't cry no tears from those eyes. This one will have to be our last goodbye, cause I see sleep deep in your eyes.
