Hush little baby, close your tired eyes
Moon on the window,
silver and kind
Hush little baby, don't you cry The room is small but the
night is wide
Every little promise people say
Is love trying hard to keep fear away
When the world feels cold and hard to name A tender lie
can still soften pain
If the mockingbird won't sing tonight I'll stay beside you through the
quiet If the diamond ring turns into dust Love is not the
thing we buy to trust Hush little
baby, hear my heart Nothing we hold can tear us apart
One by one the gifts all fade Still my love is staying
Hush little baby, breathe in slow You are the truth I need
you to know When all the shining things are gone Love will
keep on singing
Mama buys treasures to answer dread Tiny bright blankets for a restless
head But deeper than ribbons and painted gold
Is the wish that no young heart meets the cold So every
promise inside this song Means I will hold you when the night
is long
No ring, no cart,
no bird in the sky Can promise a life with no reason
to cry But arms around sorrow can carry the weight And turn
fear to wonder before it's too late
Hush little baby, hear my heart Nothing we hold can tear us
apart
One by one the gifts all fade Still my love is staying
Hush little baby, breathe in slow You are the truth I need
you to know When all the shining things are gone
Love will keep on singing
Hush little baby, rest in the blue
When the world falls away,
love stays true
