Story behind the song
I've been playing the piano having my little son next to me when suddenly this tune came to my mind. I started to improvise using the tune and later composed it for the piano. After a while I felt it would also be possible to score it for the flute, clarinet and piano. When I heard beautiful Sheila's voice and saw her lyrics on Songramp I've summed up my courage and asked her whether she'd be interested in creating her lyric for my instrumental and Sheila kindly agreed.
Lyrics
Nadia's Lullaby (Eventide) Music by Nadia Cripps Copyright© 1999 Lyrics by Sheila Kaufman Copyright© 2009 Recorded and produced by Jono Buchanan and Sheila Kaufman. Natasha Cuevas (flute and clarinet), Sheila Kaufman (vocals) and Nadia Cripps (piano). Hush little one, eventide has come, Let's say goodnight to the day. We had some fun, now day is done, Tomorrow will come to play. Close little eyes, you have a surprise Waiting now in dreamland. Waiting for you, maybe me too, Close your eyes to see. Little paper boat, watch it float, Carry us down the stream. Float with me, soon you'll be Greeting a brand new day. Climb up in a tree. How far can you see? Only till earth meets sky. Hush little one, your time will come. You'll be grown up by and by. Evening has come. Goodnight to the Sun. Till you are grown and gone I'll be by your side, every eventide, Keeping you safe from harm. Eevie Ivy Ollie Oxen Free. You'll be right here with me Eevie Ivy Ollie Oxen Free. Dreaming of all you'll be. Hush little one, eventide has come. Hush little one, eventide has come.
