My Precious One

My precious one, my tiny one, lay down your pretty head My dearest one, my sleepy one, it's time to go to bed My precious one, my darling one, don't let your lashes weep My cherished one, my weary one, it's time to go to sleep Just bow your head and give your cares to me Just close your eyes and fall into the sweetest dream 'Cause in my loving arms, you're safe as you will ever be So hush, my dear and sleep And in your dreams, you'll ride on angels wings Dance with the stars and touch the face of God And if you should awake My precious one, my tiny one, I'll kiss your little cheek And underneath the smiling moon, I'll sing you back to sleep
