Have you ever stayed up
long past the party was done?
Like a bird on a wire, bumble bee ’round a flower,
when summertime has flown.

I’d drink the bottles after,
my friends said “goodbye” and gone,
I didn’t know how, to put myself down,
sitting in the kitchen all alone.

I’d cry out, “woah, woah, woah,  there’s nowhere for my love to go
I’d sit, and hear that sound, echoin’ round, echoin’ round.

Slowly I learn to listen
to me when I feel bad
I’ll always be here, to call myself dear
when I feel alone and sad.

I head for bed now lately
soon past the sun is done
so I can wake up, to a lovin’ cup,
rested, brave and strong.

Hold hold hold, hold yourself gently,
rock yourself like the baby that you are,
true love, don’t say maybe,
love you as you are, love you as you are.

Mornin’ comes from evenin’,
just like night from day
good from bad, glad to sad
life is just that way.

so rock yourself to sleep,
trying to be true,
to the little boy, or the little girl
Thats’s wonderin’ there inside of you.

Hold hold hold, hold yourself gently,
rock yourself like the baby that you are,
true love, don’t say maybe,
love you as you are, love you as you are.
