Listen to poem:

Sunshine and Moonlight

Chorus

Sunshine and Moonlight, Stardust, a little goodnight
Morning will come soon, so lie down and sleep tight
– –

when the sun comes up, you rub the sleep from your eyes
Greet the new day - My, how the time flies
Climb out of bed, say hello to your friends
Silly old bear - sleep he still pretends.

Chorus

The day lies ahead - I wonder what it will bring.
Colors and sunshine? Paper, scissors and string?
Where will you go? What will you go see?
Visit far-off lands? Oh, would you take me?

Castles and dragons, knights and ladies so fair;
A great wing-ed beast flies through the night air.
In your own room, a whole world you have made.
Rainbows and clouds in colors that won't fade.

Chorus

When you come home from that for off shore
You're still a child, but that's what grown-ups are for.
When the day is through, they'll kiss you, put you to bed,
Take one last look, put a pillow under your head.

What will you dream when the lights have gone out?
Demons in black? Troubles all about?
Don't be afraid -l love will be all around.
Sleep 'til you wake. Dream well, sleep sound!


Chorus
