Sleep My Little Child

lullabye

Sleep my little child please close your eyes
Time to go to bed turn out the light
Let me soothe you with this lullaby
and peace be with you through the night

Rest your weary eyes my little one
Your father’s by your side so don’t you weep
The sun has gone to bed the day is done
Relax and dream its time to sleep

Your mother’s love is always here
You fill her life with joy
Your Dad will always hold you dear
So proud that you are his little boy

Sleep my little child please close your eyes
Time to go to bed turn out the light
Let me soothe you with this lullaby
and peace be with you through the night

Dream sweet dreams
Relax and dream sweet dreams
Don't you weep
Sweet baby its time to go to sleep

Comments:
Written during an emotional time: having a newborn son made me a proud father :-). Despite the sleepless nights (my son was actually a sleepwalker- yikes!), the li'l guy inspired this beautiful tune. A toy music box at the intro along with the soft "Chet Baker" approach to the vocal keeps the song tender and mellow.
