Appalachian Lullaby

Well I love my baby
sweet and fair
you’ve got the sky in your eye
the sun in your hair
I rock you to sleep most every night
and sing you this song
while i hold you tight
Sleep my baby
the angels keep you from harm
and your father above
cradles you in his love
safe and warm
sleep my baby
nestled in your mama’s arms
sleep my baby
the angels keep you from harm
My baby
you’ll be sleepin' soon
kissed by the golden stars and moon
I have just one wish for you
may your every dream come true
now baby you are sleepin now
i’m done with the song for now
tommrow night i’ll sing it again
and maybe you will be singin to
sleep my baby
the angels keep you from harm
and the father above
cradles you in his love
.safe and warm
sleep my baby
the angels keep you from harm
