Broken Lullaby
Sleep wouldn't come to my bed last night
Hush little darling go to sleep
Sleep wouldn't come to give me respite
Hush little darling don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little angel don't you weep
Curl up tight and go to sleep
He came to see me and my heart bled
Hush little darling go to sleep
He was beside me in my own bed
Hush little darling don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little angel don't you weep
Curl up tight and go to sleep
I felt so helpless that I just cried
Hush little darling go to sleep
I left my mind and wished that I'd died
Hush little darling don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little angel don't you weep
Curl up tight and go to sleep
I don't know when will he hug me right
Hush little darling go to sleep
This makes me uneasy every night
Hush little darling don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush little angel don't you weep
Curl up tight and go to sleep
