I watch as my little one sleeps
Gently in my arms, as I rock....a hush
The sounds of silence, slipping shades
of serenity, send the sleepy, silently still
surrendering, to the surrounding softness...
Of satins somnolence,
hushaby, my little one
You are safely secure as
I hold you near.
Hushaby little girl,
The bright daylight is fading.
Rockaby, close your eyes,
For the sandman is waiting.
In the light of the moon
I will sing you a tune.
Shed your fears, no more tears,
You are in Heavens keeping.
Hushaby, please don’t cry
Angels watch while you’re sleeping.
Say your prayers, shed your cares,
And just know that we love you.
We’ll be there when you call
And we’re all thinking of you.
Hushaby, hushaby, hushaby- zzz
