Accompaniment:
Lyrics
Gone are the days of old fashioned lullabys
No cradles now, to close the sleepy eyes
When baby starts to cry, they soothe him
With the latest dancing tune
They hold him in their arms
And start to toddle while they croon
Refrain
Baby, there’s love in your eyes
Baby, there’s joy in your cries
Of papa, mama, and in glee
You nestle close to me
Baby, I’ve all that is dear
Baby, when I hold you near
And you croon, softly croon all the while
To my Fox-trot Lullaby
