It’s all for you

It’s All for You

A lullaby for Saralynn Evren

[Opening — soft as a whisper]

Oh, baby, baby, don’t you know?
It’s all for you, all for you.
Oh, baby, baby, can’t you see?
The whole wide world is yours to dream.

It’s all for you, all for you.
Oh, baby, baby, it’s all for you.

[Verse 1 — Morning]

When the sun wakes up and paints the sky,
And golden rays come dancing by,
When the grass turns green and the flowers bloom,
And little birds begin to sing their tune,

Oh, baby, baby, don’t you know?
It’s all for you, all for you.
Every little thing that grows,
Every gentle breeze that blows,
Oh, baby, baby, it’s all for you.

[Chorus — the heart of the song]

Don’t you know, don’t you know?
Don’t you know, don’t you know?
It’s all for you, all for you.
Every sky of blue, every drop of dew.

Don’t you know, don’t you know?
There’s so much love for you to know.
Oh, baby, baby, sweet and true,
This whole world is here for you.

[Verse 2 — The Rain]

When the clouds come rolling through the sky,
And gray clouds hide the sunshine’s light,
When the wind begins to sing,
And raindrops dance on everything,

Oh, baby, baby, don’t you fear,
There’s still a little magic here.
Even when the skies aren’t blue,
There’s something beautiful waiting for you.

Oh, baby, baby, it’s all for you.
Oh, baby, baby, it’s all for you.

[Verse 3 — Dancing in the Rain]

When the trees begin to sway,
And the wind comes out to play,
I’ll take your little hand in mine
And dance with you in the rain awhile.

Oh, baby, baby, won’t you dance with me?
We’ll twirl beneath the willow trees.
And when the raindrops kiss your shoes,
We’ll laugh beneath the silver-blue.

‘Cause, baby, baby, don’t you know?
It’s all for you, wherever we go.

[Chorus — gentle and swaying]

Don’t you know, don’t you know?
Don’t you know, don’t you know?
It’s all for you, all for you.
Every drop of rain, every rainbow too.

Don’t you know, don’t you know?
Love is in the world around you.
Oh, baby, baby, sweet and true,
It’s all for you, all for you.

[Verse 4 — The Evening]

Then the rain grows soft and fades away,
The clouds drift off at the end of day.
The setting sun paints the heavens gold,
And wraps the world in a glow so old.

Oh, baby, baby, look up high,
Watch the colors fill the sky.
As the daylight whispers, “We’re through,”
The evening brings its dreams to you.

Oh, baby, baby, don’t you know?
It’s all for you, all for you.

[Verse 5 — The Moon and Stars]

The sky turns dark, the stars appear,
The silver moon begins to peer.
They dance above in skies of blue,
Like little lights made just for you.

I’ll hold you close and softly say,
“Oh, baby, baby, dance with me.
We’ll sway beneath the moonlit skies,
While sleepy stars blink in your eyes.”

Oh, baby, baby, don’t you know?
It’s all for you, all for you.

[Bridge — A mother’s promise]

And if one day the storms grow strong,
And the nights feel dark and long,
I’ll be right here, holding you,
Just like I always promised to.

For every sunrise, every star,
I’ll love you just the way you are.
Through every season, old and new,
My heart will always belong to you.

[Final Chorus — slower and softer]

Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?

It’s all for you, all for you.
Oh, baby, baby, it’s all for you.

The sun, the rain, the skies above,
The moon, the stars, a world of love.

Oh, baby, baby, close your eyes,
Let sleepy dreams carry you high.

[Outro — almost whispered]

Saralynn Evren, my little dove,
You are my heart, my endless love.
As moonbeams dance and stars shine through,
I’ll sing this song just for you.

Oh, Saralynn, don’t you know?
You’re loved more than you’ll ever know.

It’s all for you…
All for you…
Oh, baby, baby…
It’s all for you.
