lullaby

Starlight, soft shadows and golden moonbeams
Highlight the sheen of your hair,
Sleep little darling and dream gentle dreams
Free from all trouble and care.
Close now your eyes of wondrous blue
God is in heaven especially for you
Sleep while your mother this lullaby sings
Sleep while the angels watch over all things.

What will the future bring? I cannot say
Heartaches and happiness too,
I'll try to guide you through life's rugged way
Tell you the right things to do.
Sleep little darling and fear not the dark
Wake in the morning to the song of the lark
Rosebuds and blossoms all fresh in the dew
Enhancing the day of a life that is new.
