Sunset Lullaby

Slumber sets on tired eyes
 As sun is dying in the skies
 A golden hue in distant gleam
 Will settle gently in my dream

 The final kiss of sunshine's glow
 Cast silhouettes in indigo
 The fading of the last sunbeam
 Will settle gently in my dream

 The sky transforms into cerise
 And lingers with a song of peace
 Then purple shades will softly stream
 And settle gently in my dream

 Day then makes its curtain call
 With a splendor that enthralls
 And lullabies will dare to scheme
 And settle gently as I dream
