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

And all throughout the land,
Mothers croon sweet lullabies.
Moonbeams
As the light of the sun goes down down down
The moon shines and the stars surround
In my pajamas and ready for bed
With
Grammy's little Stinker Bear, I loved you from the start
Your little nodding head falls sweet, just above my heart
Can you
The Man In The Moon
The man in the moon,
He winked his eye!
I know cause I saw him
High in the sky!
The man in the moon,
