Little baby on my shoulder
I could fall into your dreams
Wrap myself up all around you
Till you don't know what it means

Don't lie shrugging your shoulders now like I shouldn't stare
Don't sigh so deep
Are you the kind of man that I hoped you would or wouldn't be?
Maybe baby's gone to sleep
Maybe baby's gone to sleep

Pull myself a little closer
I could feel your body breathe
Hear the pulsing of my heartbeat
Rhyming rhythms endlessly

If I could catch three wishes from a falling star
One I would keep
And two I would put on your pillow with a lullaby
Maybe baby's gone to sleep
Maybe baby's gone
Maybe baby's gone
Maybe baby's gone to sleep

Hold on to a thought at the end of the day
Somewhere we'll be watching the clouds as they're drifting away
And you might think about leaving, but I'll always stay

Little baby on my shoulder
I could fall into your dreams
Wrap myself up all around you
Till you don't know what it means

I could fall into your dreams
I could fall into your dreams
Maybe baby's gone to sleep
Maybe baby's gone
Maybe baby's gone
Maybe baby's gone to sleep

Cyndi Lauper

An 80’s pop starlet that skyrocketed her way to the top of the mainstream game, Cyndi Lauper has made her mark as an artist both socially and musically.

Beginning her solo career in the 1983 with hit debut album She’s So Unusual, Lauper came to be a household name with the four top-five hits that came with the record, including breakthrough single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the visceral, chart-topping “Time After Time”. Her camp attitude, electrifying vocals, and unrelenting earworms made an impression on the general public, and she would take home Best New Artist and Best Album Package at the Grammy’s for She’s So Unusual, amidst 4 other nominations. Lauper would never reach the same sort of stardom again musically following She’s So Unusual, but her legacy was far from over.

She’s So Unusual set the ground for her next True Colors. Released in 1986, the album most notably contained title-track “True Colors”, which would grow to become a primary anthem of the gay rights movement. Lauper would later serve as a key advocate of the LGBT community, and she has fairly consistently addressed homophobia throughout her career.
