Sleep, My Little One

Soft night has come my little child, so rest Come lay your head upon your mother’s breast Oh close your eyes and listen as she sings And soon you’ll hear the sound of angel wings Come drift away into the land of dreams Where fairies dance and smile while sunlight gleams Oh come and float among the clouds of white No harm can stir within this world of light Come laugh and play with fluffy cotton sheep You’ll clap and sing and they will run and leap Then come return into your warm, soft bed Let evening kiss you softly on your head Oh sleep until the night at last is done Oh sleep and dream my precious little one
