Soft and Sweet

Chilling out on a ridge, by the sea, in a ranchido.

Cool breeze through the trees sings a song so sweet.

For my baby and my boo boo,

asleep they lay,

so I picked up my guitar and I started to play.

The music was pulsing blood up to my eyes

I surmised the horizon, sun rising, surprising the hell out

of the clouds

like they were kissed for the first time.

The sun was steady rising and I'm sitting in the sunshineI hear my baby crying and he's just waking up

so I walk through the screen door and I go pick him up.

Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka back and forth.

Baby quit crying then I'll go and play some more.Soft and sweet melodies while your momma's sleeping

let her sleep in late this morning

let her sleep 'til the sun is burning down

burning down down downBaby baby hold my fingers with your little tiny hands.

While we lounge in a hammock checking out all the land.

I smell the sweet scents of papaya and lime.

I smell the ocean breezes, the salt,

and my mind is captivated by your big brown eyes,

which remind me of mine.

Now I know we're two of a kind.

Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka back and forth.

Baby quit crying then I'll go and play some more.Soft and sweet melodies while your momma's sleeping

let her sleep in late this morning

let her sleep 'til the sun is burning down

burning down down down

burning down, burning down, burning downThe day is getting brighter and the wind is breezing down.

The whole tree is shaking, fallen fruit is on the ground.

I smile when I'm thinking about the love I've found.

Momma's still sleeping so we play these mellow soundsSoft and sweet melodies while your momma's sleeping

let her sleep in late this morning

let her sleep 'til the sun is burning down

burning down down downburning down, burning down, burning down
