[Verse 1] Close your eyes, my little girl, Let the moonlight paint your world. Lay your head here next to me, Drift away and have sweet dreams. The stars are shining just for you, The night is soft, the sky so blue. And while you dream the whole night through, Mama’s right here loving you. [Chorus] So sleep, my angel, the tide is slow, The stars will show you where to go. And if the world feels big someday, I’ll be here to lead the way. You can chase the wind, cross the sea, There’s a whole wide world for you to see. But wherever the waves may go, You’ll always find your way back home. [Verse 2] Someday you’ll spread your wings and fly, May you find your own reason why. There’ll be roads I’ve never known, And brave new places of your own. Though I can’t walk each step you take, Or keep you safe from every ache, There’s one thing time can never do— Take Mama’s love away from you. [Chorus] So sleep, my angel, the tide is slow, The stars will show you where to go. And if the world feels big someday, I’ll be here to lead the way. You can chase the wind, cross the sea, There’s a whole wide world for you to see. But wherever the waves may go, You’ll always find your way back home. [Bridge — soft, almost whispered] One day these arms may seem so small, And you won’t need me as much at all. But if you ever lose your way, My love will find you, everyday. [Outro — gently fading] Close your eyes, my angel, the stars shine bright, Mama will love you all your life. Dream of the ocean, the moon up above, sleep in these arms, sweet dreams my love.
