Lullaby, and good night,
you're your mother's delight,
Shining angels beside my
darling abide.
Soft and warm is your bed,
close your eyes and rest your head.
Soft and warm is your bed,
close your eyes and rest your head.
Sleepyhead, close your eyes;
mother's right here beside you.
I'll protect you from harm,
you will wake in my arms.
Guardian angels are near, so
sleep on, with no fear.
Guardian angels are near, so
sleep on, with no fear.
Lullaby, and sleep
tight. Hush! My darling is
sleeping,
On his sheets white as
cream, with her head full of dreams.
When the sky's bright with
dawn, she will wake in the morning.
When noontide warms the
world, she will frolic in the sun.
