lyrics

SLEEP by RAVI

1) sleep little baby sleep, as we drift into the night, your mother, and your father's love will feed your restfull sleep

with sweet__and calming dreams singing lullabys a plenty, by a choir of leprechauns from the land across the sea

2) your mother is an angel and the star in your daily show, brightens up this life, like-the-lights on clear winter nights

love is unconditional with you and me, and your the luckiest child I ever chanced to meet

3) cry little baby cry as we drift into the day, while your mother's sleeping we'll slip away to play

to search for lions in the woods, chasing butterflies with our eyes, till its time to go back home where your mother lies, slumbering

4) play little baby play, but the time is moving on, your mother's breast is waiting, and your daddy's leaving home

to go out now into the world, and find some satisfying work, returning with the kisses and the riches we deserve

5) laugh little baby laugh, while I take a photograph, to carry in my hand while in strange and foreign lands

when i return I'll sing you songs I learned when I was travelling, and here is one that you can keep.....so sleep little baby sleep

so sleep little baby sleep , so sleep little baby sleep
