The sun has gone, the moon is high
The stars are twinkling in the sky
The shadows grow across your bed
It's nearly time to rest your head
And to close your weary eyes
And to slowly drift to sleep
It's time for bed
So just sleep now 'til morning time comes
And brings new adventures with the new sun
Nothing can harm you, you're safe in my arms
So sleep, baby, sleep
There's one last hug, your book is read
Your teddy bear is on your bed
The light goes out. We say goodnight
The cover's tucked around you tight
Then you dream a little dream
As you lie there fast asleep
It's time for bed
So just sleep now 'til morning time comes
And brings new adventures with the new sun
Nothing can harm you, you're safe in my arms
So sleep, baby, sleep
And while you rest, this wish I'll make
That neither storm nor wind shall wake you
That you will always know my love
Is bigger than the sky above
And I hold you in my heart
As I slowly drift to sleep
It's time for bed
And I'll sleep now 'til morning time comes
And brings new adventures with the new sun
Nothing can harm you, you're safe in my heart
So sleep, gently sleep
