Sugar Moon Lullabies - Rock-A-Bye Baby

Rock-A-Bye Baby

Rock-a-bye, baby
In the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough sways
With the soft gentle breeze,
Baby will sleep
In comfort and ease.

Baby is drowsing
Cozy and fair
Mother sits near
In her rocking chair
Forward and back
The cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps
He hears what she sings

From the high rooftops
Down to the sea
No one's as dear
As baby to me
Wee little fingers
Eyes wide and bright
Now sound asleep
Until morning light

(Please note that Miria took the liberty of changing the last two lines in the first verse, with the intention of providing a happier lullaby experience for baby).
