“Don’t Wake up Jacob” –song demo

I wrote this song for my little buddy Jacob when he turned four. That’s him with his sister Sylvie in the wheelbarrow. They are both now in the late twenties. Click on the graphic to play the video.

Don’t Wake up Jacob

by

Scotty and the Skeptics

Jacob gets up in the morning
Makes a beeline for his toys
He’s a bundle of pure energy
A big four year old boy
He runs and jumps and plays all day
Doing things that he enjoys
And after he’s in bed at night
Please don’t make any noise

Dont wake up, Jacob
Dont wake up, Jacob
Dont wake up, Jacob
He just needs to sleep
He just needs to sleep

Dont wake up, Jacob
Dont wake up, Jacob
Dont wake up, Jacob
He just needs to sleep
And we all need some peace

Jacob’s full of questions
He’s always asking why
The grass is green the earth is brown
There’s blue up in the sky
Sometimes we think we know so much
And we have grown so wise
It’s a wonder to be four years old
And see the world through Jacobs eyes

Dont wake up, Jacob
Dont wake up, Jacob
He just needs to sleep
And we all need some peace

Dont wake up, Jacob
Dont wake up, Jacob
Dont wake up, Jacob
He just needs to sleep
He just needs to sleep

Dont wake up, Jacob
Dont wake up, Jacob
Dont wake up, Jacob
He just needs to sleep
He just needs to sleep
