Come to me, my little one,
I'll hold you while you sleep.
Come to me, little one,
We have dreams to keep.
We've spent the day together,
Stayed in - away from weather.
We played with song and toys.
We laughed with all the joys.
And now, you'll want to rest a while.
Close your eyes with contented smile.
Mama tucks your blanket in,
and Papa kisses you on your chin.
We love you so, little one.
Be cozy, as your sleep is won.
And now, your eyes are drooping down;
your tiny hands are folded.
You snuggle deeper under cover;
there's no need for us to hover.
Sleep tight, little one.
Tomorrow will come soon.
