Where does this lullaby come from?
United Kingdom
Additional Information
The original melody and words were composed by Paul McCartney of the Beatles and featured on the White Album in 1968. I always loved the song and sang it to my children when they were babies. This version combines McCartney’s with additional lyrics I added, which evolved over the years of trying to get babies to sleep. Interestingly, a previous set of lyrics written by McCartney for this melody, was based on a ‘moon theme’. Perhaps his original intention was to compose a lullaby? However, he decided to change them to create a love song.
