Lyrics

Lovingly sweet and tenderly new
Bless’d be my baby so softly I coo
Sleeping all day in your dreamland way
Waking to peep when shadows creep

Sleep shall come o’er you at close of day
Love will abide with you on your way
Tenderly sweet and lovingly new
You are my angel and softly I coo

Pressing him close while I sing away
Baby’s lone trouble to fairyland’s way
Lost in my breast is his tiny caress
Lost in the west as the sunbeams rest

Sleep that your love shall grow strong I pray
Far into life no sin come your way
Ask in your dreams, dear, you will be near
Ever to call us when danger is near
