               For Emerald Lee, of course.  Welcome home.

    D       Dsus2         D        G
    Emerald dreams in her mother's arms... 
            D5           D           A
    Tell me what are her dreams made of?
    G          A           D        A
    Warmth and rest at her mother's breast;
    D                      G
    Sunlight and songs and love...

A            Asus4  D    Dsus2 D
Fishes dream in the deep green sea;
      G           D        A
Birds rock in the treetops tall;
G        A           D    Dsus2A
Diamonds hide in the cold dark mines
    D        G         A
And dream no dreams at all.
    D       Dsus2         D Dsus2  D
But Emerald sleeps in her mother's arms
G       D         A
Cradled close and warm;
    G      A     Asus2 A       Dsus2D
Her father sings her this lullabye
    D         G         A
And keeps her safe from harm.

    refrain
I held my daughter in my arms
On the morning of her birth.
All afternoon I watched her sleep
On her first day on the Earth,
And as she slept her tight-closed eyes
Were moving to and fro,
But what she saw in her life's first dream
No one will ever know.

    refrain

    D            G         D
    Sunlight and songs and love...


Written two days after the birth of my daughter Emerald Lee, and it's
all true.  I wrote it as her own private lullabye, but it turned out she
prefers ``The Mary Ellen Carter''.
