HUSH! DON'T WAKE THE BABY
Copyright, 1888. by Will H. Kennedy, Agent.
Words and Music by Harry Kennedy.

Two little eyes of azure blue,
Two little locks of golden hue,
One little sweet and pretty face,
One little look of heavenly grace.
Like an angel, bright and fair.
Baby's asleep in the old arm chair;
Close the door softly, and just come and peep,
Softly! for baby is fast asleep;
Silent creep, baby's asleep,
Hush! don't wake the baby.

Chorus.
Hush! don't wake the baby,
See how she's silently sleeping,
One little arm round her neck entwines,
Two little eyes half peeping;
Mamma, she's a lady,
Sleep on, my dear little baby;
See how she smiles with the angels bright,
Good night! good night! good night!

Innocent lips just made to press
Close in a mother's fond caress,
Language can never well define
One baby look of love divine;
Like the sound of angel wings
Soft to a mother's fond heart it clings;
Close the door softly and just come and peep,
Softly! for baby is fast asleep;
Silently creep, baby's asleep,
Hush! don't wake the baby.-Chorus.
