Cowgirl's Lullaby

Lay your little head down, honey. Pa's right here by your side. You've been riding that old rocking horse Since the afternoon went by. The sun's gone down behind the hills. The horses have settled in. So close those pretty eyes, my girl. Tomorrow starts again. Sleep, little cowgirl, sleep. Pa's gonna stay right here. Crickets are singing outside tonight. The whole world's quiet here. Sleep, little cowgirl, sleep. Let your dreams carry you on. Pa'll be sitting right beside you Till the night turns into dawn. I've slept beneath the open sky. I've ridden through the rain. I've watched the sun come up behind the hills And saddled up again. I've known some long and lonely days, And I've known good ones too. But some of the best I've ever had Were days spent here with you. Sleep, little cowgirl, sleep. Pa's gonna stay right here. Crickets are singing outside tonight. The whole world's quiet here. Sleep, little cowgirl, sleep. Let your dreams carry you on. Pa'll be sitting right beside you Till the night turns into dawn. Someday you'll be grown, little darlin'. You'll have places you want to go. Maybe you'll ride across the prairie. Maybe you'll settle down slow. Wherever you may wander, Whatever you may do, You'll always have a place right here Waiting here for you. The horses are quiet in the barn tonight. The moon is over the trees. There's a little wind along the porch And a soft sound in the leaves. So let that tired little head rest. You don't have to go anywhere. Pa's right here beside you. Pa'll always be there. Sleep, little cowgirl, sleep. Pa's gonna stay right here. Crickets are singing outside tonight. The whole world's quiet here. Sleep, little cowgirl, sleep. Let your dreams carry you on. Pa'll be sitting right beside you Till the night turns into dawn. Lay your little head down, honey. The horses are sleeping too. Close your eyes now, little cowgirl. Pa's right here with you. Sleep now, little darlin'. Morning will come soon. Pa'll be right here. Pa'll be right here.
