Close your eyes and go to sleep, little one Close your eyes and go to sleep, my baby I'll be watching over you, the sandman's on his way Dream about tomorrow and the games you're gonna play My baby...
The sun is just a tiny star The moon is not so very far It's time to say goodnight Close your eyes, and when you wake, the world will be all right
The stars will not come out to play I asked them why, they wouldn't say Until the break of day Close your eyes, go to sleep, dream the night away
May the Lord watch over you and speed you on your way Through the dark journey of the night And if God is listening He'll keep you safe from harm 'Til the dawn embers of the ever-burning, everlasting
Sun, just a tiny star A moon that's not so very far So you must sleep and then Morning comes, dawn will break, the sun will shine again
Morning comes, and when you wake The sun will shine again...
