about

Sweet, gentle and pure, a beautiful lullaby for baby.
Soothing melody and harmonies performed on violin, cello, guitar and piano.
Stunning vocal by acclaimed UK-based jazz singer, Alice Zawadzki.


The story behind the song

Written by Jo Steel after a friend suffered a tragic loss, this song expresses the depth of love and pure joy to be found in the sweetness of a peek-a-boo game or the tickle of baby’s tiny fingers and toes.

Enjoy the universal tradition of a lullaby with a gentle waltz-like feel, rocking and swaying baby in your arms, humming and singing as baby falls asleep.

Jo Steel asked her daughter, Bridget O’Donnell, to play the violin part, as a reminder of the precious beginnings and the many beautiful musical moments they shared together when Bridget was a small child playing violin.

Alice Zawazdki’s exceptional vocal elevates this simple lullaby into a song of exquisite beauty, filled with heart-warming emotion.

lyrics

Lyrics

My little baby, peek-a-boo
My Little baby I love you
Dear little baby, small and sweet
Little fingers, little toes, and tiny feet

You make my heart sing, for you, I’d do anything
Precious and beautiful, you’re everything
Little baby, tiny baby, what love you bring

My little baby, peek-a-boo
My Little baby, I love you
