Expectation

Tonight

I’ll sing you to sleep for the first time knowing
We’ll be sharing this space for a while.
I’ll sing and play and you’ll do the growing.
Hey, can you feel it when I smile?

And I’ll hold you against my rosewood guitar
While I sing from my newly blessed soul
And you’ll have the best seat in the house by far.
My heart, my life, this sound---so full.

So I’ll sing the high notes (a nice way to start)
This guitar will fill in the low,
Between you, and me, and this guitar,

Tonight

I’ll sing to you this lulla-hello
