Daddy By Your Bed

Sweet dreams my little one, place your head on my knee. I will sing of someone who dreams a dream for thee. Let heavy eyelids close and drift on happy sleep, in gentle soft repose in Daddy’s arms to keep. Pretend that fragrant rose buds cover you to warm, and Daddy’s arms full close to keep you from all harm. So sweet dreams little one and fret not your sweet head. You’re safe when day is done with Daddy by your bed.
