Sleep Pretty Baby by Shawn Phillips
Sleep Pretty Baby lyrics
Sleep pretty baby and dream away your troubles
I'll keep the bogeyman away from your doors
Moonlight shinin' on your face through the window
Just close your eyes and you'll be able to soar
I said, flying with the freedom of a bird without
gilded wings
Diving and climbing through the canyons of clouds
When you return you will be able to clearly see
You will awaken with peace and serenity
Sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby
Morning brings you clarity, the winds become your song
You can fill your life with joy, your days won't be so
long
I say, moments full of happiness, moments full of love
Daydreams of the things you want, the things you're
thinking of
Soon become reality, living in your heart
Make yourself a promise, that life becomes an art
And sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby
Smile pretty baby, and keep away from frowns
Never let them worry you, most of them are clowns
Sunsets come in red and gold, evenings come in blue
Stars are made for wishing on, most of them come true
Some nights it will rain a little, some nights it will
pour
Some days will be difficult, some nights even more
Never let them worry you, that's what love is for
Set your heart on happiness, and open up the door
And sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby
