Little girl was down by the waterside
  The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie
  As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around
  Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down
  But now....
    What's behind those big brown eyes
  Do you dream at night
  Without your lullaby
    Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark
  Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart
  He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see
  Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory
  And Now...
    As his dreams go flashing by
  He begins to hear
  A lonely lullaby
    Well now
  We used to sing
  And we used to cry
  Through everything
  In our children's lullaby
    Little girl on the street with nobody around
  Has her head in the air dirty feet on the ground
  She shuts her eyes and she wonders is this a mistake
  Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days
  And still...
    She believes that she'll get by
  On her own without
  Her little boy's lullaby
    Little boy prays to God to answer his song
  To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone
  Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars
  So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars
  And he screams...
    Little girl won't you hear my cry
  Won't you come back home
  To your lover's lullaby
    Little girl down by the waterside
  Goodbye
