Song Choices

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Hush, Little Baby

Brahm's Lullaby

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

And if that dog named Rover won't bark
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.


Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight
With lilies be spread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lullaby and good night, with mother's delight
Bright angels around my darling may stand
They will guard thee from harm,  and

thou shalt wake in my arms
They will guard thee from harm,  and

thou shalt wake in my arms

 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle,little star.


Rock a Bye Baby

Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all

Hush a bye baby up in the sky
On a soft cloud it’s easy to fly

When the cloud bursts the raindrops will pour
Baby comes down to mother once more.

Rock a bye baby safe in my arms

Mother will hold thee safe from all harm
Tree limbs may break and clouds disappear
 Always and ever Mother is here.

You Are My Sunshine

​​

You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.

 

Please don't take my sunshine away.

I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another

 

You'll regret it all some day;

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

Michael, Row the Boat Ashore

Michael row the boat ashore,
Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore,
Hallelujah!

Sister help to trim the sail,
Hallelujah!
Sister help to trim the sail,
Hallelujah!

Michael row the boat ashore,
Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore,
Hallelujah!

Jordan's River is deep and wide,
Hallelujah!
Milk and honey on the other side,
Hallelujah!

Michael row the boat ashore,
Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore,
Hallelujah!

Trumpet sound this jubilee,
Hallelujah!
Cross this river and we'll be free,
Hallelujah!

Michael row the boat ashore,
Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore,
Hallelujah!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
