Good night sweet prince
Another day is done
You laughed and you played
Now sleep little one

You need your rest
The morning draws near
Close your eyes baby boy
You have nothing to fear

Good night my son
Have the sweetest of dreams
There's no telling what pleasures
Tomorrow will bring

Sleep peaceful and sound
for when you awake
The sun will be up
A new day for the take

These were written when my two oldest were little babes . . . Who didn't care too much for sleep . . . Sometimes I wish I could still hold them in my arms and rock them to sleep each night.

The time to play is done
The days gone quickly by
Go to sleep now little one
Close your precious eyes

Let the twinkling stars
Shine brightly in your dreams
Hear the quiet lullabies
The moonbeams like to sing

Angels keep close watch
As you sleep throughout the night
There to comfort and protect you
Until the new days light

Sleep in peaceful slumber
The mornings drawing near
Tomorrow is awaiting
It is almost here

Soon the sun will rise
Another day will dawn
Sleep soundly my dear baby
The night is almost gone

Very soon you'll fill
Another brand new day
With laughter and sweet joy
In your special way
