Sleep, baby, sleep,
Close your eyes and drift away,
Dream, baby, dream
Of magical lands so far away.

The sandman's coming,
He's almost here,
He'll sprinkle some stardust
Then disappear.

Sleep, baby, sleep,
Close your eyes and drift away,
Dream, baby, dream
Of magical lands so far away.

The night is dark,
But you're safe and warm,
All snuggled in blankets
'Til the early morn'.

Sleep, baby, sleep,
Close your eyes and drift away,
Dream, baby, dream
Of magical lands so far away.

The journey you make,
You must make alone,
But you'll wake in the morning,
Home sweet home.

Sleep, baby, sleep,
Close your eyes and drift away,
Dream, baby, dream
Of magical lands so far away.

~~~*** ~~~

OOOHHH, sweet Linda, this is such a peaceful lullaby. I know this had to be one you had written for a song, isn't it? It's so pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Love To All,

Very musical poem...just like a lullabye. I like the rhythm throughout the poem. I could see a baby being gently lulled to sleep. ***Ivy Rose

Yes, it was a lullaby I wrote for my daughters when they were babies. I would sing lullaby's to them to help them fall asleep. My beautiful baby angels.

I miss those bedtimes with my daughters when I would sing them lullabies and read them stories. Precious memories that I will always treasure.

Awww, to bad you were pulling my leg! You could have come for a sleep-over and had some nice hot cocoa while I sang you to sleep. hehe

My daughters still sing and hum my songs! Friends of mine have tapes of my music that they played for their children to go to sleep or during the day while they played. All this has warmed my heart. It truly has.
