Dream Chaser (Annie's Lullaby)

It's tough to say what inspired this song, and, amazingly, it's not actually a combination of "Hammers and Strings (A Lullaby)" and "Annie Use Your Telescope", it's actually just a lullaby. The melody's extremely simple, though at this point I'm not sure whether I want it acoustic or electric. The weird thing is the reversion in the fourth verse to the original melody, but that's because I felt the bridge fitted better in the third verse's place. I think that, in the end, my best friend inspired this song. She told me she needed a lullaby. Trouble sleeping, personal problems, the whole deal. Hopefully this is exactly what she needed. Cheers, enjoy this, because I'm in love with it.

Sleep, sleep well,

Sleep fair, I'm here.

We all fall sometimes,

So you don't have to fear.

I'm protecting you, you're safe,

Stay for a while,

Hear me say:

If you can't sleep

I'll chase your nightmares away, away.

What do you need?

It's just a dream, a dream.

From your necklace the moonlight gleams...

That's all I need.

Live, live well,

Live fair, I'm here.

Sometimes we all feel we're lost,

But I'll find you, don't cry,

Stay here for a while,

Hear me say:

If you can't sleep
I'll chase your nightmares away, away.
What do you need?
It's just a dream, a dream.
From your necklace the moonlight gleams...
That's all I need.

It's just another lullaby

As we dance around the room

And I'm writing this song for you.

We're spinning and spinning,

And you're slipping, you're slipping

To sleep.

If you can't sleep
I'll chase your nightmares away, away.
What do you need?
It's just a dream, a dream.
From your necklace the moonlight gleams...
That's all I need.

Dream, dream well,

Dream fair, I'm here.

And this lullaby puts you to sleep -

You're flying now, be free!

Lay here, while you sleep,

Hear me say:

If you can't sleep
I'll chase your nightmares away, away.
What do you need?
It's just a dream, a dream.
From your necklace the moonlight gleams...
That's all I need.
