Lyrics

Child of Mine (Lullaby)
Lyrics By
Felice Kaye-Cooper

Verse 1

Oh go to sleep my little one
Mama's here until the sun
Don't you worry your sweet pretty head
I am right beside your bed
Sleep my darling Child of Mine
Under the moon lit sky

Verse 2

Go to sleep my little one
There is so much more to come
When I see your face in early dawn
I'm so happy you were born
Go to sleep my little one
Until the morning sun

Chorus (instrumental first 8 bars)

Dream of only happy things
That the sandman will surely bring
This is my lullaby as you close your eyes

Verse3

The teddy bears and stars so bright
Guard you through the long long night
If you wake I'll be right there
To wipe away your frightened tears

Sleep my darling Child of Mine
Mama is always here
Mama is always here.FADE OUT TO END
