lyrics

Tonight this evening is peaceful, cool, and calm
Relaxed at home you're out of the way of harm
You're in my tender custody and care
Would you like to hug and hold your doll or teddy bear?

The sun is down the moon is beaming bright
Moths are flying around the porch light
The toads are croaking as the crickets sing
Fireflies are glittering and swarming

So count your blessings and your sheep
As you lie
As you lie down to sleep

Colors of the day fade to black
Everyone under ten should hit the sack
I know sometimes you feel scared
Monsters are only in your mind it's just you who's there

Dream of playful ghosts in the fog
Out in the pond the lillypads teem with frogs
Imagine friendly aliens and UFOs
Hovering curiously in the shadows

So get under the covers deep
As you lie
As you lie down to sleep

Now it's time for me to tuck you into bed
Can I just rub and pat your back and head?
Is it alright if I sing you this lullaby?
I'll cuddle and comfort you if you start to cry

It's okay if you want to weep

But you can make anything at all
Out of those reflections on your wall
Lots of good things can happen in the dark
Focus on them and you'll be happy as a lark

As you lie down to sleep
Pray the good Lord God's watch will keep
You'll be just fine until you awake
All will still be well as the morning breaks

Until your alarm clock goes beep
As you lie
As you lie down
As you lie down to sleep
