Lyrics
Sleep is coming rest your little head
All is quiet, now its time for bed
You've had such a busy, busy day
Filled with laughter, giggles, hugs and play
Little eyes, stretched so wide
Trying to stay awake
So afraid you'll miss something
As sleep overtakes you
Your own star protects you through the night
Ever shining with a light so bright
Angels linger 'til the morning breaks
When your eyes will gently float awake
But now sleep comes over you
As you close your eyes
Sweet dreams oh my little one
Mommy's standing by
