Put the World Down, Put the World Away by Glen Aaberg

Glen Aaberg “I wrote it for my wife”


Lullaby for my Wife


I know the phone is a ringing, UPS at the door,
Kids are stomping their feet on our new kitchen floor,
We’ll l try not to wake you, it’s time to let go,
Turn on the ocean machine, let that noisy fan blow.
Put the world down, put the world away,
I know the sun is shining, I know the birds are singing,
I know there’s no moon, but it’ll time
Time to put the world down, put the world away.
All over the world babies wait be born,
You want to take each of them in your arms,
But just for this morning let the little ones surround you,
Wrap you up close and wrap you up warm.
Put the world down, put the world away,
I know the sun is shining, I know the birds are singing,
I know there’s no moon, but it’ll time
Time to put the world down, put the world away.
We want you out with us wherever we go,
And I know that you worry about me,
But I’ve got some angels want to share them with you,
Close you eyes, may you smile in your sweetest dreams.
Put the world down, put the world away,
I know the sun is shining, I know the birds are singing,
I know there’s no moon, but it’ll time
Time to put the world down, put the world away.
