lullaby sing lullaby the day is far behind you the moon sits high atop the sky now let sweet slumber find you away away the day is done and gone the sun that lit the world so brightly the earth s a glow with speckled show of twinkling stars so sprightly away away where the sunlight is beaming through a deep cloudless blue and the treetops are gleaming with a fresh morning dew where the mountains are shining on the meadows below in a brilliant white lining of a new fallen snow close your eyes breathe in the night a softer bed i ll make you the trial is done all danger gone now let far dreaming take you away away where the ocean is lapping at a soft pearly shore and the swaying palms napping as their swinging fronds soar now the dark night approaches yet so soft and so mild lullaby sing lullaby sleep my child
