Angels Lullaby

Close your eyes and rest your little head,
Time has come for you to go to bed,
I will gently stroke your little cheek
Go to sleep; go to sleep.
Piglet and Pooh Bear under each arm,
For you know with them your safe from harm.
Restful sleep until the morning comes,
I will hum; I will hum.

Let’s ride your rocket over Saturn,
Come circle Jupiter and mars.
Venus; such a lovely planet,
See the Milky Way and all its stars.

See the lambs that you saw at the Zoo,
With your Piglet and your Pooh Bear too.
Ev’ry star you visit carve a notch,
I will watch; I will watch.
Time then for a quiet peaceful sleep,
Where the Angels your soul gently keeps,
Guarding there until the break of day.
I will pray; I will pray.

this is a very restful soothing lullaby full of great images for one's child. ARe you singing it for a child of your own? Well done.

Thank you Andrea. My children are to big for that now. 25 and 20. Hopefully I will sing it for grandchildren some day. I just couldn't sleep last night because this tune came in my head and these were the words I put to it. I always loved singing and reading books and poetry to my children so it is easy for me to remember how wonderful it was.
