Spanish Lullaby - Tender Grace

Little one I am here
you are not alone
Mama will guard your sleep 
and you are safe at home
I will hold you closely
in protective arms
and keep precious baby
from harm

Trees slowly nod
in the sighing wind
Now the sun has gone
you must rest again
Seeing sweet contentment
on your drowsy face
I'm breathless with the moment's
tender grace

Stars gently wink
in the silver sky
look up above, 
watch the moon climb high
close your eyes now, my darling 
and drift off to dreams
in peace as I watch 
over thee
