Sabrina's Lullaby

words and music: Padraig Ruad O'Maolagain

Hush, my child, now don't you cry
I am here, right by your side
Through the night I'll keep you safe and warm
There's nothing in the dark to fear
Not as long as I am here
Don't you know I'll keep you from all harm?

Refrain:
So my small one, hush-a-bye
As 'neath the covers snug you lie
Dream your dreams of innocence and light
And remember as you grow
Little one, I love you so
I'll be here to make everything right

Though the night is wet and cold
And the wind is very bold
Here in our little house we're warm and dry
I have built a fire bright
To fill the room with dancing light
How the sleepy hours seem to fly

Refrain

Now sleep soundly through the night
And wake again with morning's light
To greet the wonders of the dawning day
But for now just sweetly rest
Nestled in sleep's warm caress
While I gaze at you and softly say

Refrain
