Sleep My Angel

The sun once more has lost it's shine,
And the moon and stars our sleep incline.

Come now angel, time for bed, 
It's time to rest your precious head. 

Turn on the night light, oh so bright, 
To scare the monsters that plan to fright.

Grab your teddy and blanket too,
To hold you close the whole night through.

Come once more to my embrace. 
I'll say good night and kiss your face.

Now lay down and closes your eyes, 
For the sun once more will rise. 

Dream of joy my angel while you rest, 
and know my life you've truly blessed.

And while I watch you drift off to sleep, 
I'll thank the Lord for your love so sweet.
