Song Description

Singing a child to sleep reminds you of what's really important in life.

Lyrics

"Sing Me To Sleep." She says,
with pleading eyes.
So I turn off the light,
and sit down by her side.
I can't help but remember
my younger years,
when being alone in the dark
was my greatest fear.
A moment of silence,
then a whisper of song.
Oh, my love,
as the night folds around
let your mind drift along.
Think of three little boys
who sailed off in a shoe.
Or of magical dragons in far away lands
who have wondrous adventures with children like you.
Imagine a casle of clouds up above,
or an owl and a pussycat falling in love.
Such impossible things
come alive in your dreams.
Oh, look, there's Mister Moon!
See his face through your window,
looking at you.
His wise old smile says
"I have something to share."
And he sends silver moonbeams
to dance in the air.
He will be there to keep you company
after I'm gone and you are asleep.
And as my singing drifts
off in the night,
your heavy eyelids
finally close over your eyes.
"I love you." I whisper
and kiss your forehead.
You look so small and so innocent,
tucked in your bed.
And as I leave, I feel old
but still young,
and I marvel at what
these few moments have done.
As I sing lullabys to a child
in the dark
there's no doubt;
I've been reminded what love and what life
are really about.
