Love & Lullaby Bundle Volume I (3 Songs)

Perfect for new parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, godparents, aunts, uncles…or anyone who just loves a little one, our three-song bundle with all-new 2023 recordings, contains music to lull your child to sleep — or send him, her or them off into the world wrapped in love and confidence. (The two lullabies are A Cappella, because seriously, when you sing your kid to sleep you don’t generally whip out an instrument or invite the whole band in…)

This bundle includes Mommynightskye (Evan’s lullaby), Gifts to Offer, and Rest You in My Arms (Dan’s lullaby).

“When my youngest son was just a preschooler, he spontaneously started running around the house one day yelling, ‘I’m racing through the mommy night sky’ with great enthusiasm. The phrase stopped me in my tracks because it was just so magickal and evocative! All kinds of imagery popped into my head and a lullaby was born. (Thanks again for the inspiration, Evan!)” — Roberta

Racing through the mommy night sky

Can you feel me fly?

I am the wind in your face

As you move through your dream space

And you are safe

You are protected

As the moonlight spills past your windowsill

Your soul is free to glide

Between the cold white clouds and the stars distant fire

Moving down the mommy night street

Can you hear my feet?

I am the rhythm and song

Pulsing through you all night long

And you are safe

You are protected

As your nightlight glows, let your sweet soul know

Your soft bed awaits your return

When your wild dreams tire, and the planet turn to the sunrise

Until I hold you 

In my arms again

Travel free through your dreams

Let time and space bend

For my love will be with you

Through each magick realm you find

I am the light to guide you home

Racing through the mommy night sky

“When my oldest son was five years old, he was all excited about a birthday party a friend was going to be having. But the weeks passed and he hadn’t received an invite, so he was seriously crushed. As a parent, it’s the worst feeling not to be able to prevent all the inevitable hurts rolling downhill and aimed right at your kid. This song was the answer to the question of what it was I could offer instead of perfect protection from all those painful experiences. …And, this particular story actually has a happy ending. Shortly after I finished writing this song, my son’s invitation to that longed-for birthday party turned up and fun was had by all!” — Roberta 

If I could be your armor, child, I gladly would agree

To battle fears and anybody less than nice

But I don’t have the power to stop hurt feelings or hurt knees

This world is yours to face and it’s not easy

And I cannot guarantee safe passage through this troubled place

But I have gifts to offer that might ease you on your way

So if this world at times seems jumbled, mean and just too wild

Let my words be a pillow, when you need to rest your mind

Let my words be a pillow, when you need

To rest your mind

My magic wondrous child, all the things your eyes will know

The vastness of the planet lies before you

I know you will find friendship, and I know you will find love

And I wish there weren’t also those who’d use you

And I cannot guarantee safe passage through this troubled place

But I have gifts to offer that might ease you on your way

So if there are times that what you see can only leave you cold

Let my arms be a blanket, when you need to warm your soul

Let my arms be a blanket when you need

To warm your soul

For all the times you’ll triumph, and the times that you will failI 

I know that you’ll prevail and you will shine

Whatever paths you choose, I will stand by you till the end

And my belief in you will never waiver for a moment baby

So if you’re pulled to places, you don’t want to be

Let my love be an anchor when you’re feeling lost at sea

Let my love be an anchor and you’ll not

Be lost at sea

“When I was little, I was so afraid of the dark that it made it hard for me to fall asleep. Yeah, bedtime was quite an issue in my house…But my dad in his infinite wisdom, suggested that I think of the darkness as a velvet blanket — something nice and comforting that would keep me safe and warm until morning. That lovely image stays with me to this day… 

“When I had my first child many years later, and felt moved to write him a lullaby, I knew I wanted it to share that comfort my dad gave me from the get-go, and for my little son to never be scared of the darkness. So wouldn’t you know, my first born turned out to be a total night owl! 

“Thanks, Dad for this inspiration. And may any darkness you encounter in the great beyond be velvety, shimmering, awe-inspiring…and bring you only great comfort.” — Roberta

Darkness falls as rich as velvet

Glistening with stars

Snuggled in your blankets

I see sleep tug at your arm

Let it take you to a place

Where dreams are free to roam

Gentle, wild imaginings

You are safe from harm

Rest you in my arms

Sleep you by my side

Cradled in my love

Take this gentle ride

Till the morning sun

Smiles warmly from the blue

Rest you in my arms, child

I will stay by you

Wispy clouds of angel hair

Drift past moonlit fields

Let imagination soar

And make the magick real

There you will be taken

Where your dreams are free to roam

Gentle wild imaginings

You are safe from harm

Rest you in my arms

Sleep you by my side

Cradled in my love

Take this gentle ride

Till the morning sun

Smiles warmly from the blue

Rest you in my arms, child

I will stay by you
