David wrote this lullaby while rocking our sons Ari and Jason to sleep.
When I was little, when I was small That old rocking chair used to seem ten feet tall And I looked forward to the end of the day When my mom or dad would sit there and say:
(Chorus:) Come take a ride in this old rocking chair Come sit by my side, and tug on my hair I'll tell you a story, I'll sing you a song in this old rocking chair.
As I grew older, that chair would become all of the things in my imagination Sometimes a place to drive my matchbox-cars Sometimes a space-ship, blasting off to Mars
(Chorus)
Now I am bigger, now I am grown Now I have two little babes of my own And there is one thing I do love to see When those two little boys come and climb up on me
(Chorus)
We sit in this chair and I sing you to sleep 'Till I put you down, and you can dream deep Someday this chair and I, we'll both be gone But we'll still be there, whenever you sing this song
