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
