Hello, Lawrence

Super vocal and acoustic guitar!
Very impressive tune!
It is a very fun to produce a remake version with original audio files with BIAB.
I also sometimes make a remake version in the same way.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Your singing voice amplifies the impact of the music.

It's beautifully emotional listening experience, sir.

Transported,

LOREN
Thank you very much. What a wonderful comment!

"Heartfelt" has already been mentioned multiple times and this song, as do all of yours, has it in spades.

As was said above "It is intelligent and beautifully crafted!"

We much enjoyed it (great addition to the playlist) and, hey, STICK AROUND!!

Hello Janice & Bud! Thank you for the kind comments! I've been so far down the "mixing" rabbit hole of death for two long years now that I couldn't focus on much else. But I hope I've reached an end point where I can write and post more songs in 2018. (I am about to post the song you covered "Missing You". There is a new 2018 fingerpicking guitar by Brent that fits it perfectly! I just have to lay down the vocal.)

I'll ride Kenny's coattails on this - he often says what I was thinking.

Good to see you back around, Lawrence. Love hearing that voice...

Nice.

Great rendition well played and the track voices well chosen good job and very well done.

Could you share the poetry with us please.
Thank you very much. Here are the lyrics.

Lullaby in D (Aug. 2007)

Three times is a charm
So I’ll tell you that I love you one more time
Hold on
Baby hold on
I’ll kiss those tears and then they will be gone
Baby don’t you cry
I’ve come wipe your tears away
I’ve come to wipe them dry
You’ve got to carry on
Daddy is coming home again
Daddy is coming home
Lay your weary head down
It’s time to close your eyes and sleep now
Won’t you listen for the sound
The angels sing a lullaby for you child
