An old recording of bedtime lullaby I wrote for my daughter. The lyrics have been modified since this recording.
People have compared me to Cat Stevens, Mark Knophler and others. Personally, I can't say.
These are my songs I have written. Most are played and sung by me (acoustic guitar & vocal) but a few are not.
Story behind the song
This is the first song I wrote for my daughter.
Lyrics
Magic Sand
(Dora’s Bedtime Song)
©1999 David Van Camp
Comb your hair, brush your teeth,
It's time to go to sleep.
In the morning, when you awaken,
You can tell me all your dreams.
For now it won't be long,
'Till the Sandman comes along,
And fills your sleep with happy dreams, and
Sings this bedtime song:
(The Sandman’s Song:)
Warm golden days of summer,
Or snow on Christmas Eve,
There’s children laughing, singing and they’re dancing,
And playing make-believe.
Thanksgiving turkey, presents for your birthday,
Candy on Halloween;
With Magic Sand, sprinkled from my hand,
I'll bring to you these dreams.
(Repeat: Sandman’s Song)
So, Comb your hair and brush your teeth,
It's time to go to sleep.
In the morning, when you awaken,
You can tell me all your dreams.
