My Precious One

[Verse 1] My precious one, my tiny one, lay down your pretty head My dearest one my sleepy one, its time to go to bed My precious one, my darling one; don't let your lashes weep My cherished one, my weary one; it's time to go to sleep Just bow your head and give your cares to me Just close your eyes and fall into the sweetest dream, because in my loving arms You're safe as you will ever be so hush my dear and sleep And in your dreams you'll ride on angels' wings Dance with the stars and touch the face of god And if you should awake I'll kiss your little cheek And underneath the smiling moon I'll send you back to sleep
