Little Angel

Pretty little angel don't you cry
I'm gonna sing you a lullaby
Wipe those tears from your eyes
Pretty little angel don't you cry

I'm gonna  bring you an apple pie
Spread your wings so you can fly
To the moon in starry skies
Pretty  little angel don't you cry

I will pick for you some daffodils
Where unicorns roam the hills
I'll bring you stardust from the sky
Pretty little angel don't you cry

As I sing this lullaby
Wipe all those tears from your eyes
Spread your wings so you can fly
Pretty little angel don't you cry

For PD's Send me to sleep contest

I have not read any other entries for this contest but this one is very good. It would send me to sleep I am sure, but it is still morning. I like the second verse best.
