(Mmm... mmm... mmm...) Mama brushed my little hair, Tied my ribbons with such care. Daddy held my little hand, Said, "We're going to see Grandma." I wore my favourite yellow shoes, Picked the prettiest flowers I knew. Teddy rode upon my knee... Just like Grandma said he'd be. Grandma tucked me in each night, Pulled the blanket nice and tight. Then she'd smile and kiss my head... "This is what I always said..." Close your little sleepy eyes, Count the stars up in the skies. Moon will keep you safe tonight, Morning brings the sunshine bright. I still hear your sweet "I love you," Every word still feels so true. Now I sing your lullaby... To you... Everybody whispered low, Why, I didn't really know. Daddy held my little hand... "Don't let go," was all he said. Grandma wore her nicest dress, Hair all pretty, looking best. I waved hello just like before... But you smiled at me no more. Mama wiped another tear, I wished you'd wake and hold me near. I hugged Teddy nice and tight... Something didn't feel quite right. [BRIDGE | piano only | almost spoken] Can Teddy stay with you... So you're not alone? I kissed your cheek... You didn't wake. So I closed my little eyes... Close your little sleepy eyes... Count the stars up in the skies... Goodnight... Grandma... Close your little sleepy eyes, Count the stars up in the skies. Moon will keep you safe tonight, Morning brings the sunshine bright. If you hear me, sing along... Like you did my whole life long. Now I sing your lullaby... To you... Close your little sleepy eyes... Count the stars up in the skies... When I dream... You'll sing to me.
