Jay nodded and smiled softly. "Perhaps a more famous lullaby to calm us from the day?"
He closed his eyes remembering visually the notes, rippling through his mind. He started the first notes tentatively before relaxing into the piece, Brahm's Lullaby. He played the first two verses, humming through the notes as he played, before he started to sing the next few verses:
"Sleepyhead, close your eyes, mother's right here beside you. I'll protect you from harm, you will wake in my arms. Guardian angels are near, so sleep on, with no fear. Guardian angels are near, so sleep on, with no fear.
Lullaby, and sleep tight, hush! My darling is sleeping, On his sheets white as cream, with his head full of dreams. When the sky's bright with dawn, he will wake in the morning. When noontide warms the world, he will frolic in the sun."
His voice suddenly cracked, and he found his eyes brimming unexpectedly with tears. Finishing silently, he paused momentarily to wipe the tear from his cheek.
