Itzik’s Lullaby Original Broadway Cast of The Band's Visit (Ft. George Abud & John Cariani)

[ITZIK]
A great big house there is somewhere
That's filled with sun and lovely things
Inside the house, there is a room
A baby sleeps, a daddy sings

Thank God, he is a lucky man
A busy man, a happy man
Thank God the gift was given him
To finish all the things he plans

I'm sorry, son, I don't know why
This gift has not been given me
It makes no difference how I try
I end up drifting on the sea

We fell in love, your mom and I
We made our plans and started life
But now we fight and back away
The loser and the loser's wife

(CAMAL vocalizes)

[ITZIK]
I guess I am a patient man
I guess I am a gift to thee
A quiet room, a sleeping child
You need this gift if you're like me
