[Genre: Medieval Children’s Lullaby • Bedtime Folk Song] [Tempo: 66 BPM] [Key: G Major] [Time Signature: 6/8] [Lead Vocal: Soft, warm female storyteller with a gentle smile.] [Backing Vocals: Quiet children’s choir joining only on the refrains.] [Instrumentation: Fingerpicked lute, Celtic harp, soft recorder, gentle cello, music box bells, wind chimes, peaceful nighttime woodland ambience.] [Mood: Cozy, magical, comforting, ending with playful laughter.] ⸻ [Intro – Spoken] “Come closer, little sprouts. The stars are waking, the moon is shining… and somewhere in these sleepy hills lives the gentlest dragon you’ll ever meet. But whatever you do… don’t catch his yawn!” ⸻ [Verse 1] High upon the mossy hill, Where the night grows soft and still, Lived a dragon kind and small, Friendliest one of all. Moonlight danced upon his nose, Tiny flowers kissed his toes. He curled up beneath the sky… Then gave one sleepy sigh. ⸻ [Sleepy Refrain] Close your eyes… Dream away… Moon will guard you till the day. Softly now… Rest till dawn… Don’t catch the dragon’s yawn… ⸻ [Verse 2] Owls grew quiet in the trees, Fireflies drifted on the breeze. Little rabbits tucked in tight, Wishing everyone goodnight. Stretch your arms and breathe in slow, Watch the silver moonlight glow. Rub your eyes and softly smile… Rest with us awhile. ⸻ [Sleepy Refrain] Close your eyes… Dream away… Moon will guard you till the day. Softly now… Rest till dawn… Don’t catch the dragon’s yawn… ⸻ [Verse 3] Every squirrel ceased to play, Even crickets whispered low. Stars above began to blink, Sleepy dreams began to grow. Dragon smiled and tucked his tail, Nighttime wrapped the quiet vale. Everything was still at last… Nothing moved so fast. ⸻ [Final Refrain – Very soft] Close your eyes… Dream away… Moon will guard you till the day. Softly now… Rest till dawn… Don’t catch the dragon’s… (music almost fades away…) ⸻ [Spoken Ending – Whisper] “Shhh… I think everyone’s asleep…” (A long, dramatic pause.) “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN!” “Oh goodness! I told you not to catch it!” (Children giggle as the dragon gives one tiny happy snore.)
