The Land Of Hushabye The sun is slowly fading as it sinks into the west And now it’s time for all the little sleepy heads to rest Night is quickly falling and the moon begins to rise The sandman sprinkles tiny bits of stardust in their eyes So let me rock you gently and I’ll take you by and by On a wondrous sleepy journey to the land of Hushabye Shimmering pools of starlight will brighten all your dreams And soon you will be dancing among the moonlight beams Over stars you’ll travel, riding moonlight ‘cross the sky And watch the fairies cast their nets to catch a firefly Be sure that on your journey you bring along your cup For as you pass the Milky Way you’ll want to fill it up When you arrive at Hushabye the magic will begin And everything a child could want is nestled there within Marshmallow clouds float lazily across the sunny skies And cakes and candy stretch for miles before your very eyes The roads are paved with peanut brittle sugary and sweet And everywhere you’ll find that there are goodies you can eat Chocolate drops and candy kisses lie upon the ground And everywhere a child looks there’s cookies to be found Rivers run with lemonade and cotton candy grows From all the trees, and soda pop from every fountain flows So close your little tired eyes, don’t let me hear you cry And you will soon be on your way to the land of Hushabye |
