“Sleepyone”

Night is falling, Sleepyone;

Fairies calling, Sleepyone.

Drop your head on mother’s breast,

Time for little ones to rest,

            Sleepyone.

Time to close your sleepy eyes,

Time to cross the dreamland skies

For the land of lullabies,

            Sleepyone.

Night is creeping, Sleepyone;

Stars are peeping, Sleepyone.

Close your eyes and dream away,

Dream of hopes anpther day,

            Sleepyone.

Dream of joys forever shed

Pound your bright and curly head –

Fairies guard your peaceful bed,

            Sleepyone.
