Now the sun is sleeping
And the moon shines overhead
Come magic creatures creeping
Around your little bed
But be not afraid my child
For you are their creator
Out of your dreams they're styled
As beautiful as their maker
They dance about on silent feet
As lightly as a feather
In rhythm with the unheard beat
Then bowing all together

And all the while I watch you
Amazed by your perfection
No length I wouldn't go to
To give you my protection
I wonder if you know
How much you mean to me?
This love that through me flows
Is deeper than the sea
I soar every time you smile
And worry whenever you cry
So here I shall stay awhile
Just to be by your side
But all too soon the dawn arrives
And hence the spell is breaking
Your creature friends must say goodbye
Before you are awaking
One final dance and then they're gone
Beyond this world once more
The echo of their parting song
Now fades out through the door
Yet in their wake, birds start to sing
To ease you from sleep
So delay no more my young sweetling
The world is at your feet
