LISTEN TO AN AUDIO SAMPLE OF THIS LULLABY.
The sunset fades to crimson in the west,
And lilac shadows steal across the land.
The moon has come to put the sun to sleep,
And sleep has come to take you by the hand.Under a fat old moon, way up high,
With a lopsided grin in a calico sky;
In a lonely sweetgum tree, by a creek that murmurs sleepily,
The nightbird sings a twilight lullaby. The little birds have settled in their nests,
'Til morning's sunlight beckons them awake;
A breeze has stirred the rushes swaying by
The twinkling stars reflecting in the lake.
Under a fat old moon, way up high,
With a lopsided grin in a calico sky;
In a lonely sweetgum tree, by a creek that murmurs sleepily,
The nightbird sings a twilight lullaby. The moon so big up in the eastern sky,
Bright golden as it floats above the hill,
Has sent a little gift to warm your night,
Of moonbeams dancing on your windowsill. Under a fat old moon, way up high,
With a lopsided grin in a calico sky;
In a lonely sweetgum tree, by a creek that murmurs sleepily,
The nightbird sings a twilight lullaby.
About This Lullaby
Twilight Lullaby celebrates the beauty of nature at dusk, when the evening star first begins to twinkle and the birds and little animals settle down to go to sleep.It is at this quiet time that one begins to relax from the cares of the day, and to savor the sweetness of the fading sunset and the coming of night. This is one of the most beautiful times of the day, as a bird sings a lullaby from the top of a tall lonely tree, and the shining moon hangs suspended in the eastern sky, floating over a distant hill. Stopping to enjoy these quiet moments is one of the secrets to living a happy life, and in this lullaby these precious moments are preserved in a child's song to send your little one off to Twilightland with only the sweetest dreams.
Sweet lullaby dreams to you--Miria.
