Lullaby
Sleep my baby your mother is near,
Keeping your dreams from sadness and fear;
Sunlight’s asleep and bringing night,
Sleep my baby the moon shines her light.
Slumber my darling it’s time to find rest,
Holding you close, your face to caress;
Sleep my baby for I’ll keep you warm,
Holding you close to keep you from harm.
Rest my darling; all the world is asleep,
In my arms your dreams I will keep;
Pray that the angels will shine grace upon you,
Sleep my darling, the hours are few.
Awaken my baby for dawn’s early ray,
Finds birds that sing of a bright new day;
Bringing the glow of dawn’s early light,
And chasing away darkness of night.
