Story Behind The Song
My son was born a preemie in 1988 and this is how I felt when I finally got him home and got to rock him and watch him sleep. And I still feel that way today although it might be a little hard,, I'd need a triple rocker.

Lyrics
It's early morning and although I'd like to be sleeping
I might be here a while.
I'm propped up in a rocking chair watching TV
rocking away the hours.
And although it's late and my mind is weary,
in my heart is a smile.
Cuddled close inside my arms safe and warm
is a bundle of joy.
And as I watch him sleeping peacefully my heart is singing
Thank you so much Lord.
For showing me your blessing
with this healthy baby boy.
And I sing rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye baby
Daddy's rocking your cradle
And I want you to know
Dad will always be by your side
Loving arms around you anytime you cry
Oh your daddy surely loves you
And I want you to know
You're the heart of my soul.
Cuddled close inside my arms safe and warm
My boy has found his home
And althrough the night I'll hold him tight just to let him know
He will never be alone
Oh your daddy surely loves you
And I'll always be singing Kirbys' Song.
And I sing rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye baby
Daddys rocking your cradle
and Iwant you to know
Dad will always be by your side
Loving arms around you anytime you cry
Oh your daddy surely loves you
And I want you to know
You're the heart of my soul.
