Moonflower Lullaby

Moonflower Lullaby

[Verse 1]
Moonflowers unfurl
As the summer sun fades
And the sky slowly darkens
To indigo shades.

Frightened child in my arms,
See the night means no harm.
Let me sing those tears away.

[Refrain]
Hush, my baby, lullaby.
Dreams are waiting here tonight.
As the nightingales peep
I will sing you to sleep.
So hush now, don’t you cry.

[Verse 2]
Trees in the moonlight,
Leaves glitter like jade.
On their branches the nightingales
Flitter and play.

Though your eyes fill with tears.
Look, there’s nothing to fear.
Let me sing those fears away.

[Refrain]
Hush, my baby, lullaby.
Dreams are waiting here tonight.
As the white moonflowers creep,
I will sing you to sleep
So hush now, don’t you cry.

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Crickets composing
A sweet serenade
While the grass whispers softly
In deep everglades.

The night with a sigh
Sings its own lullaby.
Let it sing your tears away.

[Refrain]
Hush, my baby, lullaby.
Dreams are waiting here tonight.
As the white moonflowers creep
I will sing you to sleep.
So hush now, don’t you cry.
Hush now, don’t you cry.
