Over Fields of Marigold - a Sunset Lullaby
Hush little baby, my little chickadee
Listen you’ll hear the symphony
As I gently rock my baby to sleep
Counting sheep with Little Bopeep
Singing you this lullaby my dear
Whispered softly in your ear
The sun sets with colours of gold
Over swaying fields of marigold
Hush little baby sleep or sing along
With the other angels all night long
Tomorrow the sun will rise with a purr
There will be time for giggles and laughter
But now it’s time for bedtime
So close your little eyes with a rhyme
The sun sets with colours of gold
Over swaying fields of marigold
Let your spirit soar on a breath of love
Dance with the other angels up above
And a one and a two and a three
Let your spirit soar high and free
Rocking gently to and fro
I will see you early tomorrow
Sleep tight my little angel, goodnight
Around on the carousel, goodnight
