Sleep Baby, Sleep

Lay your weary head
Inside my warm embrace 
I'll wrap my arms around you 
Within them now encased

Comforted between them
Free from want or care
No chaos or mayhem
Let that go on elsewhere 

Close your eyes, I've got you
Rest in knowing this 
And should a little tear fall
I'll dry it with a kiss

I'll take all your troubles 
And put them onto me
You just breathe in deeply
Much better now, you see?

You're tired, come, I'll hold you tight
I'll all your worries keep 
And sing you gentle lullabies 
Sleep now baby, sleep

Your title brought me here, when my son was little my lullaby for him was always that “ sleep little baby sleep” ah this touched my heart and is so nostalgic. A mothers lullaby is precious. A fave from me
