Sweet Baby

Slumber sweet baby. No cry lullaby.
Baby's breath on a shoulder, a sigh.

Retreat into dreamy realms of color.
Mommy's voice to baby like no other.

Soothing calm in the middle of night
Instills in this baby to have the sight

Into the black darkness. Sweet lullaby.
Sighs of contentment. Oh my - oh my.

Loving arms caress while Mom sings.
A mother's a wonder for many things.

But the best is a baby, sleep tonight.
Tomorrow morning will be just right.
