Lullaby
Sweet cradled child, you slumber so
with gentle breathings, soft and slow
The love I feel I cannot speak
or tears would glaze upon my cheek
I hold you close beneath the pane
The night outside, it whispers rain
The clouds drift by, one star that shines
upon your face, as moonlight finds
a face so graced by angel wings
pink cheeks and eyelash flutterings
Dream, sweet one, of magic lands
Now, while you sleep, you grasp my hand
Your tiny fist, hangs on to me
I pray your world will always be
a gentle place, that watches thee
Do you dream of open seas
Or sail on clouds and over trees
through meadows like a soothing breeze?
If clouds arise to darken skies
may the angel eyes watch over you
I'll keep you safe in tender ways
till the sun comes back another day
So sleep my babe, I'll hold you tight
I'll sing this song for you tonight...
