Close your eyes and go to sleep, little one

Close your eyes and go to sleep, my baby

I'll be watching over you, the sandman's on his way

Dream about tomorrow and the games you're gonna play

My baby...



The sun is just a tiny star

The moon is not so very far

It's time to say goodnight

Close your eyes, and when you wake, the world will be all right



The stars will not come out to play

I asked them why, they wouldn't say

Until the break of day

Close your eyes, go to sleep, dream the night away



May the Lord watch over you and speed you on your way

Through the dark journey of the night

And if God is listening He'll keep you safe from harm

'Til the dawn embers of the ever-burning, everlasting



Sun, just a tiny star

A moon that's not so very far

So you must sleep and then

Morning comes, dawn will break, the sun will shine again



Morning comes, and when you wake

The sun will shine again...
