Para Dani

Rock and roll lullaby
(Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil)

She was just sixteen
And all alone when I came to be
So we grew up together
My mama-child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared
But whenever I would cry
She’d calm my fears and dry my tears with a rock and roll lullaby

And she’d sing
Sha n ana na
It will be all right
Sha n ana na
Now just hold on tight
Sing it to me , mama
My, my, my my mama
Sing it sweet and clear
Oh Mama let me hear
That old rock and roll lullaby

Now we made it through the lonely day
But. Lord, the nights were long
And we’d dream of better mornings
When mama sang a song
Now I can’t recall the words at all
It don’t make sense to try
‘Cause I just knew lots a love came through
In that rock and roll lullaby
