Woody's Lullaby by Martha Reich

WOODY'S LULLABY


Won’t you come to me 
For just one day 
You’ve been gone for awhile 
And there’s something I forgot to say 
I miss your sweet smile and your company 
Won’t you come back to me 
If only in my dreams

I knew the day would come 
When you’d say goodbye 
I knew when it did It would make me cry 
I’m sorry If I held on too tight 
I know that you tried 
With all of your might 
All of your life 

Don’t get me wrong 
Don’t get me wrong 
I want you to be 
So happy and free 
My sweet Woody 

And in the morning twilight 
The angels called your name 
They told me it was time for you 
To live with them again 
And If I wished to find you 
Just to look up to the sky 
And sing you a sweet little lullaby 

Don’t get me wrong 
Don’t get me wrong 
I want you to be 
So happy and free 
My sweet Woody
 
You’ll always be 
So special to me 
You’ll always be with me 
My sweet Woody
 
Won’t you come back to me 
For just one day

​'Woody's Lullaby' was inspired by our beloved cat Woody. 
He was my constant companion and the sweetest loving friend. 
Woody's spirit now lives everywhere and somewhere over the rainbow.


I dedicate this song to my dear departed friend, Carol Rothman (aka Carly Rose) May you and Woody be dancing together in heaven.

This song expresses my feelings of love, loss, and the heartache of having to say goodbye to our sweet Woody. 
It's also a song for all those who have lost a loved one.

May you feel the love of all those you have lost, in beautiful and magical ways.

​Award-winning Santa Fe-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Martha Reich has performed at venues around the world.  Her music transcends tradition and language in a way that is moving, honest, and rare. Each song feels as though she's written it just for you--to tell you something important about life.

Reich has released five albums. Her most recent multi-instrumental CD, ‘BRAVE BIRD’ won a Gold Medal for Female Vocalist in the 2018 Global Music Awards and LA Critics Award for Best Folk Artist. She is now in the process of working on her sixth album titled, 'In Poetry of Forget Me Nots'.

"With a sound almost woven out of the earth, Reich sings from the brittle openings of the heart. To take in the art that comes from such a place opens up our lives in ways that are impossible to measure but so important to hold onto.”  - James Diaz, ANTI-HEROIN CHIC MAGAZINE
