If you wake to find you're all alone Call me up on the telephone and I'll say "Come on 'round, kick up your feet I'll check to see if your heart still beats, you can stay"
I heard her laugh but she sounded blue I said, "You know my heart's for you, it lies awake" "Dreaming of its promised land A gentle touch from your gentle hand", I would say
So hush, little darling, don't you cry Hush, little darling, gonna make you mine
I know our love did rust away But through that window came a better day So don't close the blinds 'Cause you're my light, you're my emptiness The pretty colors on that summer dress, babe
You're all the things that fall from the sky The sun, the rain, the moon, the light, babe So come on down to this earthly being And I'll hold you close when you're in need, babe
So hush, little darling, don't you cry Hush, little darling, gonna make you mine
Hush, little darling, don't you cry So hush, little darling, gonna make you mine
