"Hush Now Don't You Cry" lyrics

The moon has chased the fading sun
Away off to the west
The wee birds all are on the wing
Flying homeward to their nests
The twinkling stars will soon appear
For twilight time is nigh
Golden slumbers wait for you
So hush now don't you cry

So hush a bye and don't you cry
Until the morning light
For angels will watch over you
All through the night
All through the night

You have no cares in this wide world
Nor promises to keep
And I'll be here beside you
Until you fall asleep
I'll rock your cradle gently
And I'll brush your tears away
And I'll be there when you awake
At the dawning of the day

So hush a bye and don't you cry
Until the morning light
For angels will watch over you
All through the night
All through the night

I watch you smiling as you sleep
Bathed in moonbeams glow
My heart is so enchanted
I can hardly rise to go
And if the day should ever come
That you have gone away
Oh I know my heart, will break in two
On that very day

So hush a bye and don't you cry
Until the morning light
For angels will watch over you
All through the night
All through the night

So hush a bye and don't you cry
Until the morning light
For angels will watch over you
All through the night
All through the night
All through the night

Good night
