Baby, what do you see?
Why won't you go to sleep?
Baby, what do you hear
That keeps you awake, tell me my dear
Baby, what do you see?
Why won't you go to sleep?
Baby, why stay awake
While the rest of us wish time away?
Baby, what do you see?
Why won't you go to sleep?
Baby, why do you fight?
Will you only sleep at night?
Baby, what do you see?
Why won't you go to sleep?
Baby, what do you know
You should sleep now because I said so
Baby, what do you see?
Why won't you go to sleep?
Older and wiser folk than you
Wish they could all take a nap too.

BenBen, what do you see?
Why won't you go to sleep?
BenBen, what do you hear
That keeps you awake, tell me my dear
BenBen, what do you see?
Why won't you go to sleep?
BenBen, why stay awake
While the rest of us wish time away?
BenBen, what do you see?
Why won't you go to sleep?
BenBen, why do you fight?
Will you only sleep at night?
BenBen, what do you see?
Why won't you go to sleep?

Clocktower

I see the hands on the clocktower
Ticking our time away
I hear the hands mark the passing hours
Sign'ling the end of day
Morning seems so long ago
So seems the afternoon
Evening now is ushered in
By the rising of the moon
I see the hands on the clocktower
Ticking our time away
I hear the hands mark the passing hours
Sign'ling the end of day

Baby Crocodile

He's the baby crocodile
With the bucket on his head
He's going to lie down
On the couch and go to bed
The bucket is all yellow
He's a dapper sort of fellow
He's the baby crocodile
With the bucket on his head
He's the baby crocodile
With the bucket on his head
He can't see where he's going
So he'll trip and fall instead
The bucket is all yellow
He's a dapper sort of fellow
He's the baby crocodile
With the bucket on his head
He's the baby crocodile
And he's lying on the floor
He tripped and fell
The bucket will adorn his head no more
The bucket is all yellow
He's a dapper sort of fellow
He's the baby crocodile
With the bucket on his head

Mermaid's Lullaby
02:00
|

You watch the ships sail overhead
While you're safe inside your bed
Let them lull you fast asleep
Way down under the sea
The fishes flee the hungry sharks
The sun has set, it's getting dark
But do not fret you're safe with me
Way down under the sea
The merfolk on their steeds swim by
While you watch with wondering eyes
Just like them one day you'll be
Way down under the sea

Sunset Sail
04:02
|

It's time again little darling
All aboard anchors aweigh
Won't you please sun set sail with me
To end another day
The sun has past the horizon
It's time to say goodnight
The waking hours have come and gone
And it's best to sail by starlight
Sail away on a dream little darling
Close your eyes and rest your head
Let yourself drift on a moonbeam
And sail off back to bed
The wind is always at our backs
The compass close at hand
We have no need for charts or maps
We sail for morning land
Sail away on a dream little darling
Sunset sail on off to sleep
Let yourself drift on a moonbeam
As you float on o'er the deep
The water is as still as glass
You need fear no nightly storm
So quickly these small hours pass
As we sail in search of morn
Sail away on a dream little darling
Do pray tell me what you find
Let yourself drift on a moonbeam
And the stars will be your guide

Trust Me

I know what it's like
To stressed to be tired
To feel like you're always
Missing out
I know how it feels
To be frustrated and hurt
But I also know
What I'm worth
I know you're tired
But don't want to drift
I know you don't want to sleep
But darling trust me
Just let go
Close your eyes
My love i know you're tired
Relax here in my arms
And when you wake
The world will look brighter
I know you don't want to sleep
But you're safe here trust me
I know everything's loud
I know life is crazy
Don't have it all figured out
But I know what you need
Sleep darling sleep
Rest your head don't you cry now
Soon the clouds will break
And the sun will come out
Just let go
Close your eyes
My love i know you're tired
Relax here in my arms
And when you wake
The world will look brighter
I know you don't want to sleep
But you're safe here trust me
Take a breath
Count to three
Darling trust me
Hush dry your tears
You're safe now
I'm here
Just let go
Close your eyes
My love i know you're tired
Relax here in my arms
And when you wake
The world will look brighter
Darling you can let go
Trust me I know

Babies Don't Keep
04:22
|
|||
Stay with me, sit with me
Let me hold you close
As you look at me sleepily
Perfectly composed
It's alright, please don't cry
Just gently drift to sleep
We only have but so much time
And babies don't keep
Walk with me, dance with me
Learn with me, grow
Hand in mine, there's still time
Steady as she goes
It's alright, please don't cry
Just gently drift to sleep
We only have but so much time
And babies don't keep
Laugh with me, cry with me
Freedom of the soul
Copy me, follow me
My little shadow
It's alright, please don't cry
Just gently drift to sleep
We only have but so much time
And babies don't keep
Live with me, love with me
If only I had known
You'd grow so fast, babies don't last
Just please always come home
It's alright, please don't cry
Just gently drift to sleep
We only have but so much time
And babies don't keep
Stay with me, stay with me
I hope you know I'm proud
You did your best, now get some rest
And may sweet dreams abound
It's alright, please don't cry
Just gently drift to sleep
We only have but so much time
And babies don't keep

Yours

Don't be afraid
Don't be alarmed
You're perfectly safe now
Here in my arms
The monsters can't harm us
The nightmares can't reach
So lay your head down now
And drift back to sleep
I could be your rock
Let me be your anchor
A mainstay in the storm
I could endure it
Hold out to end
So long as I am yours
What had you worried
Let's dry up those tears
There's nothing to fear now
I'll always be here
If you ever need me
I'll never be far
You're perfectly safe now
Here in my arms
I could be your rock
Let me be your anchor
A mainstay in the storm
I could endure it
Hold out to end
So long as I am yours
Take a deep breath now
Let's find some peace
Any danger that comes near
Has to answer to me
The monsters can't harm us
The nightmares can't reach
So lay your head down now
And drift back to sleep

For the Sake of the One
03:39
|
|||
Even when you fall away,
Even when you go astray
Just call my name if you're afraid
And for the sake of the one
For the sake of the one
I will leave the ninety-nine
Even when you come undone
You are mine
You are mine, you are mine, you are mine
And you will always have my love
I know there's blood on both on our hands
And this is not what we had planned
Need you to know I understand
And I am reaching out
I am reaching out
Until the end of time
Even when you doubt
You are mine
You are mine, you are mine, you are mine
And you will always have my love
As unto me so I will do
He fought for me
He fights for you
I will fight for you
For even when I fell away
Even when I went astray
When I was lost and so afraid
I was the one
You are mine, you are mine, you are mine
And you will always have my love
