Stars above are shining bright,
In a sky of blue.
Little eyes are closing tight,
No more things to do.
Smiling, hush now, day is through.
Mary, Mother, watch o'er you, guard you, too.
Dear little child of mine,
I pray to God your soul to keep.
Angels will hover o’er your bed,
And watch you while you sleep.
Soon the world will find you,
Lots of work to do.
Sleep in peace, my baby,
God bless you.
When the summer days are gone,
And leaves have turned to gold.
Little hands are big and strong,
Others have grown old.
Memories faded, loved one's tears,
You will always remember through the years.
Dear little child of mine,
I pray to God your soul to keep.
Angels will hover o’er your bed,
And watch you while you sleep.
Soon the world will find you,
Lots of work to do.
Sleep in peace, my baby,
God bless you.
Sleep in peace,
Sleep in peace.
