Comforting New Lyrics for All The Pretty Little Horses

The original lyrics for All The Pretty Little Horses contain some phrases which are not exactly comforting. Amy wrote these more peaceful lyrics to sing to our son:

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,
All the pretty little horses.

In my arms, safe from harm
Rocks my lovely little baby.
Deep blue skies, in his eyes
Worlds of wonder are yet to be.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.

Do not fear the sound of a breeze
Brushing leaves against the door.
Do not dread the murmuring seas,
Lonely waves washing the shore.
Sleep child mine, there’s nothing here,
While in slumber at my breast,
Angels smiling, have no fear,
Holy angels guard your rest.
