Don’t fall sleep, my little one Don’t close your eyes Not for a second Don’t rest your head On that soft feather pillow Don’t count the sheep As they leap over the wooden gate One, two three, four
Don’t look to the sky The sun has long gone to bed Don’t search for flowers They have hidden their beauty To shine for another day Don’t look for the squirrels They are curled up, warm in their tree Dreaming of a world of acorns
Don’t listen carefully To this lullaby I sing Fight against the pull of heavy eyes As you drift into dreams Where stars will carry you On a magical flying carpet Over rainbow mountains And cotton candy fields
Don’t worry I will be here Keeping you safe And in the morning When you wake I will be waiting To share another day Of wonderful adventures
