Hushaby, babyÂ…
Close your blue eyesÂ…
Hushaby, babyÂ… 
You're unaware
Of what you shall bear.

Hushaby, babyÂ…
Time will come—I'll be gone…
Hushaby babyÂ…
Time will come—you'll be gone…

Hushaby, babyÂ…
Close your grey eyesÂ…
Hushaby, babyÂ…
Life's an affair,
Sleep while you have care.

Hushaby, babyÂ…
Time will come—we'll be gone…
Hushaby babyÂ…

Hushaby, babyÂ…
Close your brown eyesÂ…
Hushaby, babyÂ…
You've got your life
Dream while there's no strive.

Hushaby, babyÂ…
Happy till thenÂ…
Hushaby, babyÂ…
Dream while you can:
Nobody knows when

Time will come—I'll be gone…
Time will come—you'll be gone…
Time will come—we'll be gone…
No-one knows when we'll comeÂ…
