Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Another Lullaby

Another Lullaby

Another Lullaby

Close your eyes, my pretty child,
Though the night is dark and the wind is wild.
I will stand beside your bed
Tonight there is nothing you need fear or dread.
You can sleep now, go to sleep,
The rain falls and the windows weep.
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby.

Close your eyes, my sister fair,
Though the snow is falling and the trees are bare.
And I will hold you by the hand
Tonight there is nothing you need try to understand.
You can sleep now, go to sleep,
The daytime's dying and the nighttime's so deep.
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby.

Close your eyes, my mother wise,
When the waves are angry and the north train cries.
I stop those ghosts outside your door
Momma don't worry 'bout those ghosts no more.
You can sleep now, go to sleep,
Tomorrow comes but it will keep.
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby.
