Sleepyhead - Nursery Rhyme

A Lullaby


Go to bed, sleepyhead
Snuggle with sleepy ted
And sleep sleepyhead
In your safe warm bed

Close your eyes, don’t peek
Count the bounding sheep
Take a graceful leap
Into restful sleep

And then when you awake
To a brand new day
We will take your hand
And we’ll guide your way

Take a graceful leap
Into restful sleep
And sleep sleepyhead
In your warm cozy bed

Cripes! I must be going soft in my old age. Glad you liked it. I’ve been singing it to an assortment of ‘tunes’ all day... could have done an mp3 but I don’t want to crack everyone’s windows. I’ve never had an ‘aww’ before so thanks Jan. Terry
