For a while I was playing around with the idea of writing kids songs. This is the only one I recorded.
Lyrics
Gently lay me down
Sing a lullaby
Whisper words of love
Softly close my eyes
Tell me its okay
Wipe the tears I cry
Help me to feel safe
In my little space
Mom help me sleep tonight
Though you need some rest
You’re right here by my side
You sacrifice for me
And take it all in stride
You are the world to me
You are my earthly guide
Mom help me feel secure
Love so warm and pure
Mom help me sleep tonight
‘Cause I’m dependent and meek
Need you near me because I am so weak
And your presence helps me sleep, Mom tonight, help me sleep
Mom help me sleep tonight
Once I fall asleep
You’ll hear a little sigh
Then you tiptoe away
And hope I sleep all night
But if I should awake
I know you’ll hear me cry
Then you’ll do your best
To help me get some rest
Mom help me sleep tonight
‘Cause I’m dependent and meek
Need you near me because I am so weak
And your presence helps me sleep, Mom tonight, help me sleep
Mom help me sleep tonight
