Brahms Lullaby (Lullaby and Good Night)
Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight Bright angels beside my darling abide They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast

Rock-a-Bye Baby
Rock-a-bye baby, in the tree top When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall And down will come baby, cradle and all
|
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are!

Hush, Little Baby
Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing, Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass, Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke, Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull, Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull fall down, You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

Baby Mine
Baby mine, don't you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine.
Little one when you play Pay no heed what they say Let your eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear, baby of mine.
If they knew all about you They'd end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they'd give just for The chance to hold you.
From your head to your toes Your not much, goodness knows But your so precious to me Sweet as can be, baby of mine

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why, can't I?

Toora Loora Loora Lyrics
Over in Killarney, many years ago My mother sang a song to me in tones so sweet and low
Just a simple little ditty in her good old Irish way And I'd give the world if she could sing that song to me this day
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry! Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby.
Oft in dreams I wander to that cot again. I feel her arms a-hugging me As when she held me then.
And I hear her voice a-hummin' to me as in the days of yore, when she used to rock me fast asleep outside the cabin door.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry! Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby.
