Lyrics
Softly as You Sleep
Drift away on clouds so light
Drifting by the stars so bright
All is calm and still
All is calm and still
Moonbeams dance around
Moonbeams dance around
Softly as you sleep
Softly as you sleep
Angels drifting from on high
Floating in the velvet sky
Angels floating down
Angels all around
Hear their whispered song
Hear their whispered song
Softly as you sleep
Softly as your sleep
