    Story Behind the Song
    My first grandchild was born last March, so, of course, I had to get busy and write a lullaby. I selected the banjo simply because I wanted to do something a little different.

    Lyrics
    Banjo Lullaby (c)2003 by Joe Kretschmer

    Close your eyes and go to sleep my child
    Your dreams have been travelin' many a mile.
    The days fly by, the nights are much too slow.
    What the future holds I just don't know.
    But one thing's sure and that's I love you so.

    Rest your weary head and have no fear.
    Your mommy and your daddy's standing near
    They'll guide you when the winds of change do blow.
    And guardian angels watch you while you grow.
    And I'll play a song for you on my old banjo.

    I know that the world's a scary place.
    With war and hate that plagues the human race.
    But love and hope can help you make it through.
    And we'll give all we have to you.
    We'll help make all your dreams come true.

    [bridge] Bb F C /// Dm G / F G C
    Set your sights, you can never aim too high.
    Through the clouds and out beyond the sky.
    The path is only clear to those who try,
    What's meant to be will happen bye and bye,
    And you'll find out you don't need wings to fly.


    So close your eyes and you'll be on your way.
    Tomorrow will be a brand new day.
    So many things to see and things to do.
    And everything you touch will seem brand new.
    The whole wide world holds its breath for you.
