Rock A Bye Goodnight ....... By: Scarecrow76

I remember when we were laughing at that southern moon riding high up in the sky.
You remember when we threw it all away except each other as we took a midnight walk and ride.
The beach remembers that we were lovers but if you make love in the surf that hurts.
So we camped there at a lifeguard stand as we gazed into the star that flirts.
It was a sweet time a gentle slip out of our minds.
Not another regret that holds on for such a long, long time.
Sometimes I look back on that night when nothing felt like it was anything but right.
I was exhausted as you kissed me goodnight, it was a rock a bye goodnight.

I recall a cap with a capricorn that I wore as a crown all of those years ago.
You recall I was your king oh my, such a long, long time ago.
Though we have never seen that hallowed place again where love begins.
No matter what you may now think, I think it's a race we sure did win again.
It was a sweet time a gentle slip out of our minds.
Not another regret that holds on for such a long, long time.
Sometimes I look back on that night when nothing felt like it was anything but right.
I was exhausted as you kissed me goodnight, it was a rock a bye goodnight.

You recall a world where all the odds seemed almost fair and we were the ones who cared.
We had a crazy dream that we were meant to make it to somewhere that love was bare.
Like a tender nerve of weakness now we're both shadows standing against the wall.
I wonder why if we could do some parts of it alll again then why don't we do it all?
It was a sweet time a gentle slip out of our minds.
Not another regret that holds on for such a long, long time.
Sometimes I look back on that night when nothing felt like it was anything but right.
I was exhausted as you kissed me goodnight, let's make this a rock a bye goodnight.
