Livingston Taylor - Hush A Bye lyrics

Nail and stone it was my life And dreams were always grown. I built lovers into wives And dreams into fine homes. As simple as it seemed to me, You would not see me smiling, And I would cry to watch you try To live your life to die. So hush a bye Don't you cry Go to sleep my love; Dry your eyes And dream of You're the one I love. I did pray to be like you To be part of your life, But you were lost to richer lands Your friends to foot the price. And somewhere I just saw clearly What you were thinking of The diff'rence 'tween us must have been That someone gave me love. (repeat chorus)
