Good night my darling baby

It's time to close your eyes now

In slumber till the morning

When sunlight comes to wake you

    

Sweet flights of childhood fancy

Soon to dreamland will take you

My loving arms as always

Here will be waiting for you

     

Good night
My darling child

My love

My baby

I love you so

     

Precious child

Find your dreams

Close your eyes

In peaceful sleep
