Close your eyes, my little one
The evening folds you in
Moonlight rests on your windowpane
And the quiet can begin
Tiny hands and sleepy sighs
Your world is soft tonight
I will guard the little room
Till morning finds the light
Hush now, hush now
Let the dark grow kind
Hush now, hush now
Leave your ache behind
Rock you slow, rock you slow
In my arms, you’ll softly glow
Rock you slow, rock you slow
Till the dream birds come and go
Sleep, my dear
I’m right here
Rock you slow, rock you slow
Down the hall, the old house creaks
Like it’s telling tales
But your breath is calm and small
And the nightingale sails
I will sing the same sweet line
Till your shoulders fall away
Folded safe inside my song
Till the edge of day
Hush now, hush now
Let the dark grow kind
Hush now, hush now
Leave your ache behind
Rock you slow, rock you slow
In my arms, you’ll softly glow
Rock you slow, rock you slow
Till the dream birds come and go
Sleep, my dear
I’m right here
Rock you slow, rock you slow
If the shadows wander close
I will stand and stay
Every little fear you hold
I will rock away
Rock you slow, rock you slow
In my arms, you’ll softly glow
Rock you slow, rock you slow
Till the dream birds come and go
Sleep, my dear
I’m right here
Rock you slow, rock you slow
