LULLABY LYRICS

Cradle Song (top)
1
Dear goodnight, yes goodnight
Mister sandman is calling
Sail away to Blanket Bay
And return at break of day

Close your eyes, lullabies
Soon will banish all harms
With the bright, morning light
You'll be back in my arms.

2
Slumber on, until dawn
While the angels are watching
While the moon above you beams
May you dream the sweetest dreams

So goodnight, dear again
Let me kiss you and then
Slumber on, slumber on
I'll be with you at dawn.

--------------

Do You Know How Many Stars (top)
1
Do You Know How Many Stars, dear
There are shining in the skies?
Do you know how many clouds, dear,
Ev'ry day go floating by?

God in heav'n has counted all, and,
He would miss one should it fall,
He would miss one should it fall, dear,
He would miss one should it fall.

2
Do you know how many children,
Go to little beds at night?
And without a care or sorrow,
Wake up in the morning light;

God in heav'n each name can tell,
Knows you too, and knows you well,
Knows you too and knows you well,
Knows you too and knows you well.

--------------

Land of Nod (top)
1
From breakfast on through all the day,
At home among my friends I stay,
But ev'ry night I go abroad
A far into The Land of Nod.

2
All by myself I have to go,
With none to tell me what to do,
All alone beside the streams
And up the mountainsides of dreams.

3
The strangest things are there for me,
Both things to eat and things to see,
And many fright'ning sights abroad
Till morning in The Land of Nod.

4
Try as I like to find the way,
I never can get back by day,
Nor can I remember plain and clear
The curious music that I hear.

--------------

Lullaby
(top)
Lullaby, Lullaby
1st time: Do not wake and weep;
2nd time: Loving watch we keep;
Softly in the cradle lie,
sleep, o sleep!
softly in the cradle lie,
sleep my darling, sleep.
--------------

The Sandman (top)
1
When the toys are growing weary,
and the twilight gathers in,
When nurs'ry still re-echoes,
in the childrens merry din;
Then unheard, unseen, unnoticed,
comes an old man up the stair,
Lightly to the children passes,
lays his hand upon their hair.

2
Softly smiles the good old Sandman,
in their eyes the dust he throws,
'Till their little heads are falling,
and their merry eyes must close;
Then The Sandman very gently
takes each dimpled little hand,
Leads them thro' the sweet green forests
far away in slumberland.
Far away in slumberland.
Far away in slumberland.

--------------

Sleep, Baby, Sleep (top)
1
Sleep, baby, sleep
Our cottage vale is deep:
The little lamb is on the green,
With snowy fleece, so soft and clean
Sleep, baby, sleep.
2
Sleep, baby, sleep
Near where the woodbines creep,
Be always like the lamb so mild,
A sweet, and kind, and gentle child.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
3
Sleep, baby, sleep
Thy rest shall angels keep,
While on the grass the lambs shall feed,
And never suffer want nor need
Sleep, baby, sleep.

--------------

Sleep, Darling, Sleep (top)
1
Sleep, Darling, Sleep;
Angels hov'ring near, Dear!
Sleep, Darling, Sleep;
Angels hov'ring near.
Tra la la la la la la la la la la la,
Tra la la la la la la la la la la.

--------------

Sleep, O Sleep (top)
1
Sleep, o sleep!
While breezes so softly are blowing;
Sleep, o sleep!
While streamlets so gently are flowing,
Sleep, o sleep! Sleep, o sleep!
2
Sleep, o sleep!
While birds in the forests are singing;
Sleep, o sleep!
While echoes with music are ringing,
Sleep, o sleep! Sleep, o sleep!
3
Sleep, o sleep!
While angels are watching beside thee;
Sleep, o sleep!
May blessings forever betide thee,
Sleep, o sleep! Sleep, o sleep!

--------------

Slumber Song (top)
1
Be hushed, my dear, thy mother's near,
Thou needst no longer weep;
Soft melody she sings to thee,
Now close thine eyes in sleep,
Now close thine eyes in sleep.
Sleep, sleep!
2
Be hushed, my dear, dry ev'ry tear,
In sweetest quiet keep;
O weep not so o'er infant woe,
But close thine eyes in sleep,
But close your eyes in sleep.
Sleep, sleep!
3
Be hushed, my dear, no thought of fear
Shall break thy slumbers deep;
Angels above, with wings of Love,
Their vigils near thee keep,
Their vigils near thee keep.
Sleep, sleep!

--------------

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (top)
1
Twinkle, twinkle, little star;
How I wonder, what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
2
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
3
Then the trav'ler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He couldn't see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
4
In the dark blue sky you keep,
While you through my window peep,
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

--------------

Little Boy Blue (top)

Little Boy Blue, Come blow up your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn,
Where is the boy that looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack, fast asleep.

=========

Winkum, Winkum (top)
1
Winkum, winkum, shut your eyes,
Sweet my baby's lullaby,
For the dews are falling soft,
Lights are flick'ring up aloft;
And the moonlight's peeping over,
yonder hilltop capped with clover.
2
Chickens long have gone to rest,
Birds lie snug within their nest,
And my birdie soon will be,
Sleeping like a chicadee;
For with only half a try
Winkum, winkum, shut her/his eye.

--------------

All The World Is Sleeping (top)

Go to sleep upon my breast,
All the world is sleeping.
Till the morning's light you'll rest,
Mother watch is keeping.
Birds and beasts have closed their eyes,
All the world is sleeping.
In the morn the sun will rise,
Mother watch is keeping.

--------------

Bedtime (top)
1
The evening is coming,
The sun sinks to rest,
The crows are all flying
straight home to the nest.
Caw, says the crow as she flies overhead,
It's time little people were going to bed!
2
The flowers are closing,
The daisy's asleep,
The primrose is buried
in slumber so deep,
Closed for the night are the roses so red,
It's time little people were going to bed!
3
The butterfly drowsy
has folded its wing,
The bees are returning,
no more the birds sing.
Their labor is over, their nestlings are fed,
It's time little people were going to bed!
4
Goodnight, little people,
goodnight and goodnight,
Sweet dreams to your eyelids
till dawning of light,
The evening has come,
there's no more to be said,
It's time little people
were going to bed!

--------------

Day and Night (top)

By day the shadows slip away,
At evening back they creep.
The sun gives light enough for play,
The stars enough for sleep.

--------------

Now The Day Is Over (top)
1
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2
Through the long night watches,
may thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
watching round my bed.
3
When the morning wakens,
then may I rise.
Pure and fresh and sinless,
in thy holy eyes.

--------------

Sleep On, Little One (top)
The flow'rets all sleep soundly,
Beneath the moon's bright ray,
They nod their heads together,
And dream the night away.
The budding trees wave to and for,
And murmur soft and low. Sleep on!
Sleep on, sleep on, my little one!

--------------

Sun Is Down
(top)
Sun is down, stars in the skies;
Close your drowsy little eyes.
Time for one more song to sing,
How fast the happy evening flies.

--------------

Sweet Be Your Sleep
(top)
Good night to you all
and sweet be your sleep,
May angels around you
their silent watch keep.
Good night, good night,
good night, good night.

--------------

Mommy and Daddy Love You
(top)
Mommy loves you,
and Daddy loves you.
Mommy and Daddy love you.
Mommy and Daddy love you.

[Bridge (middle section)
is hummed.]

Mommy loves you,
and Daddy loves you.
Mommy and Daddy love you.
Mommy and Daddy love you.

--------------

The North Wind And The Sun (top)
(music from the animated
production/video of this Aesop fable,
produced in Canada)

--------------

To Dream Is To Believe
(top)
It's time to rest;
you've done your best.
Now close your eyes,
and slumber 'til sunrise.
Now lay your head,
upon your bed.
It's time to dream, of happy thoughts
and waking up again.

To dream is to believe
that you can do most anything.
I love you. I will always be there.

My little one, your day is done.
I'm singing this song
while you close your eyes
and dream all night long.
