All La Glory Lyrics
I want to hear pitter patter
Climb up your ladder now
It's time for you to dream away
For what a big day you've been through
You've done all the things that you wanted to do
All la glory, I'm second story
Feel so tall like a prison wall
I'm looking for a star bright
To shine down your light now
And keep the little one safe and warm
Cause to her it's just a fantasy
And to me it's all a mystery
All la glory, I'm second story
Feel so tall like a prison wall
And before the leaves all turn brown
Before they fall to the ground
You will find the harmony
Wait and see
Listen to the serenade
Little girl, promenade now
You've got the sunshine in your hand
And maybe come some sweet day
You'll walk that Milky Way
All la glory, I'm second story
Feel so tall like a prison wall
That tall
Climb up your ladder now
It's time for you to dream away
For what a big day you've been through
You've done all the things that you wanted to do
All la glory, I'm second story
Feel so tall like a prison wall
To shine down your light now
And keep the little one safe and warm
Cause to her it's just a fantasy
And to me it's all a mystery
All la glory, I'm second story
Feel so tall like a prison wall
Before they fall to the ground
You will find the harmony
Wait and see
Little girl, promenade now
You've got the sunshine in your hand
And maybe come some sweet day
You'll walk that Milky Way
All la glory, I'm second story
Feel so tall like a prison wall

This is such a sweet song. I remember wanting to learn this for my little girl, as a bedtime song, to send her off. It's almost like a prayer, like so many songs are.
"I'm second story" must be something that means something personal to Robbie Robertson, I'd think. Maybe it was something he heard a kid or someone say, meaning that they feel very up or even "high".
This song is so beautiful and sweet, as befitting an ode to a (Robbie's) newly born daughter. But "Feel so tall like a prison wall" is a strange line to have in a lullaby, and what's the significance of saying "La" instead of "The"?
