[Verse 1]
Little darling, go to sleep
Outside, rain is weeping
Precious things for you I keen
Through the night we talk so deep

[Chorus]
Close your eyes, now it's time for sleeping

[Verse 2]
And if shadows give a scare
Or the floor is creaking
You'll know I am always here
Together, we will face the fear

[Chorus]
Close your eyes, now it's time for sleeping

[Verse 3]
Sleep, my darling, sleep so tight
Above you, stars are twinkling
Moonlight guides your dreams tonight
Until you wake at first daylight

[Chorus]
Close your eyes, now it's time for sleeping
