Lyrics
- Say goodbye to playtime
And the joys of daytime
Ev’ry birdie’s in its nest
Can’t you hear the Sandman
Off-to-slumberland man
Calling you to rest?
Chorus
So, hush-a-bye, baby
Don’t you cry, baby
Close your eyes and dream
Hush-a-bye, baby
Slumber, my baby
While the moonbeams gleam
Don’t you weep, baby
While you sleep, baby
Angels will watch in the sky
So, dream away till dawn of day
While I sing baby, hush-a-bye
- Skies are growing shiny
Eyes are growing tiny
Dreamboat is about to start
Little lids are closing
Now my baby’s dozing
Bless her precious heart
