Gershwin, anyone?

[zeldas_lullaby]

I've been playing a song on the piano today, and I love both the tune and the lyrics. This is a lullaby being sung to a baby who has everything but doesn't know it, 'cause she's a baby.

Summertime, and the livin' is easy. Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high.

Your daddy's rich, and your mamma's good lookin', so hush little baby, don't you cry.

One of these mornings, you're going to rise up singing. Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky.

But till that morning, there's a'nothing can harm you, with Daddy and Mamma standing by.

That seems so beautiful to me today. I love Gershwin, both as a musician and as a lyricist. (Actually, I think they were brothers, and one wrote the music and the other wrote the lyrics. But anyway.)

Anyone else out there like Gershwin, either the lyrics or the music or both?
