Lullaby For You

Hushaby little girl, 
The bright daylight is fading.
Rockaby, close your eyes, 
For the sandman is waiting.
In the light of the moon
I will sing you a tune.
Shed your fears, no more tears,
You are in Heavens keeping.
Hushaby, please don’t cry
Angels watch while you’re sleeping.
Say your prayers, shed your cares,
And just know that we love you.
We’ll be there when you call
And we’re all thinking of you.
Hushaby, hushaby, hushaby-  zzz
