Chilling out on a ridge,
By the sea, in a ranchido.
Cool breeze through the trees
Sings a song so sweet.
For my baby and my boo boo,
Asleep they lay,
So I picked up my guitar
And I started to play.
The music was pulsing
Blood up to my eyes
I surmised the horizon,
Sun rising,
Surprising the hell out
Of the clouds
Like they were kissed
For the first time.
The sun was steady rising
And I'm sitting in the sunshine

I hear my baby crying
And he's just waking up
So I walk through the screen door
And I go pick him up.
Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka,
Rocka back and forth.
Baby quit crying then I'll go
And play some more.

Soft and sweet melodies
While your momma's sleeping
Let her sleep in late this morning
Let her sleep 'til
The sun is burning down
Burning down down down

Baby baby hold my fingers
With your little tiny hands.
While we lounge in a hammock
Checking out all the land.
I smell the sweet scents
Of papaya and lime.
I smell the ocean breezes, the salt,
And my mind is captivated
By your big brown eyes,
Which remind me of mine.
Now I know we're two of a kind.
Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka,
Rocka back and forth.
Baby quit crying
Then I'll go and play some more.

Soft and sweet melodies
While your momma's sleeping
Let her sleep in late this morning
Let her sleep
'Til the sun is burning down
Burning down down down
Burning down, burning down, burning down

The day is getting brighter
And the wind is breezing down.
The whole tree is shaking,
Fallen fruit is on the ground.
I smile when I'm thinking about
The love I've found.
Momma's still sleeping
So we play these mellow sounds

Soft and sweet melodies
While your momma's sleeping
Let her sleep in late this morning
Let her sleep
'Til the sun is burning down
Burning down down down

Burning down, burning down, burning down
