Lullaby by Ann Reader

 

Let a wild hare run through your dreams 

In his  March madness it seems  

He will dance for you.  

Let a unicorn stand by your bed  

He’ll drive off the nightmares you dread 

He’ll stand guard for you 

There’s a nightingale out in the tree 

Drift off to sleep and maybe  

He will sing for you  

All of these blessings I wish on your sleep  

And over it all I promise to keep  

A loving watch over you.  

Let an owl stand at your bed head  

For his wisdom it’s said will see you through. 

Let a black cat sleep at your side 

For your luck and his warmth he will bide 

He will purr for you.  

See there’s a man in the moon  

Close your eyes and then soon 

He will smile for you.   

All of these blessings I wish on your sleep  

And over it all I promise to keep  

A loving watch over you.  

On an eagle’s wings you could soar 

Over hills or a steep valley floor  

He would fly for you 

On a gentle horse you could ride 

By a peaceful water side 

He would carry you 

Or perhaps you would like to be  

With the dolphins far out to sea 

They would swim with you.  

All of these blessings I wish on your sleep  

And over it all I promise to keep  

A loving watch over you.  

Into your dreams you could sail 

On a warm and pleasant gale  

It would blow for you  

You can fill your every desire  

On a cold day a warm open fire  

It would glow for you  

Take what you will for the night 

To see you through to the light 

And a day that’s new. 

 

All of these blessings I wish on your sleep  

And over it all I promise to keep  

A loving watch over you .
