Pd's Lullaby

Little Linda close your eyes
It's time to tell the day goodbye
Lay your head down, soft and slow
It's time to let your worries go

Still the thoughts, racing through your brain
Don't give in to the thinking game
Clear the clutter from your mind
Making room for the dreaming time

Snuggle up safe and warm
Holding on, to your unicorn
Drift away in the velvet night
Flying where the stars shine bright

Little Linda close your eyes
It's time to tell the day goodbye
Lay your head down, soft and slow
It's time to let your worries go

For: Send Me To Sleep Contest

The tune I'm thinking of for this is from the song "Don't Cry Joni" By Conway Twitty
