Hush My Little Sleepy Eyes

Hush my little sleepy eyes
Its tuck-in time for you.
The poppies in the garden are asleep.
And just outside your window,
you can hear the pigeons coo
and the drowsy little birds cheep cheep.

Mother moon is watching you
and throwing kisses down.
The tiny woodmice creep into their beds.
The sandman like a shadow
is stealing through the town
and sprinkling sand on little tired heads.

The dreamy yellow rose tree
is pale with silver mist.
The crickets fiddle little sleepy tunes.
I’ve tucked you in your blanket
and your downy head I’ve kissed.
Hush my little sleepy eyes while Daddy croons.
