CLOSE YOUR EYES

Close your eyes my little one,
The owl says it’s night.
Comets burn a dark blue dome
With tales of fiery light.

Close your eyes my little one,
Sleep till the break of the day,
Listen the stars are singing,
Fruit bats are out to play.
Close your eyes my little one,
And dream a little dream,
Of jeweled fishes gliding
Along a golden stream.

Close your eyes my little one,
And when you wake with light,
I will still be there beside you,
And we’ll play till the edge of night.

Close your eyes my little one,
I cannot sing anymore,
I am hungry and tired and thirsty,
And I will sleep by your side on the floor.
