G. LOVE & SPECIAL SAUCE - Soft And Sweet lyrics

rate me

Chilling out on a ridge, <br />

By the sea, in a ranchido.<br />

Cool breeze through the trees<br />

Sings a song so sweet.<br />

For my baby and my boo boo, <br />

Asleep they lay, <br />

So I picked up my guitar<br />

And I started to play.<br />

The music was pulsing<br />

Blood up to my eyes<br />

I surmised the horizon, <br />

Sun rising, <br />

Surprising the hell out<br />

Of the clouds<br />

Like they were kissed<br />

For the first time.<br />

The sun was steady rising<br />

And I'm sitting in the sunshine<br />

<br />

I hear my baby crying<br />

And he's just waking up<br />

So I walk through the screen door<br />

And I go pick him up.<br />

Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, <br />

Rocka back and forth.<br />

Baby quit crying then I'll go<br />

And play some more.<br />

<br />

Soft and sweet melodies<br />

While your momma's sleeping<br />

Let her sleep in late this morning<br />

Let her sleep 'til<br />

The sun is burning down<br />

Burning down down down<br />

<br />

Baby baby hold my fingers<br />

With your little tiny hands.<br />

While we lounge in a hammock<br />

Checking out all the land.<br />

I smell the sweet scents<br />

Of papaya and lime.<br />

I smell the ocean breezes, the salt, <br />

And my mind is captivated<br />

By your big brown eyes, <br />

Which remind me of mine.<br />

Now I know we're two of a kind.<br />

Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, <br />

Rocka back and forth.<br />

Baby quit crying<br />

Then I'll go and play some more.<br />

<br />

Soft and sweet melodies<br />

While your momma's sleeping<br />

Let her sleep in late this morning<br />

Let her sleep<br />

'Til the sun is burning down<br />

Burning down down down<br />

Burning down, burning down, burning down<br />

<br />

The day is getting brighter<br />

And the wind is breezing down.<br />

The whole tree is shaking, <br />

Fallen fruit is on the ground.<br />

I smile when I'm thinking about<br />

The love I've found.<br />

Momma's still sleeping<br />

So we play these mellow sounds<br />

<br />

Soft and sweet melodies<br />

While your momma's sleeping<br />

Let her sleep in late this morning<br />

Let her sleep<br />

'Til the sun is burning down<br />

Burning down down down<br />

<br />

Burning down, burning down, burning down</
