"Lulling" to sleep

When I was growing up my father used to play the piano before we went to bed. It must have been to calm us all down. But, we always knew that when he got to the 'Brahm's Lullaby' we had to get ready for bed. By the time he was through playing it three times we needed to be jumping into bed so he could come tuck us in.

I have noticed that even now......36 years old.....I cannot fall asleep without singing the lullaby in my head. It seems to be the only way that I can get my self to shut my mind down and drift off. No other piece of music will work. Funny how our minds work.
