When the night drops its cloak Sings my voice mild and mellow Comes to me from our folk An offhand cradle song When the day must depart Is the night your playfellow Like a dog is my heart And with you runs along When the stars in the sky Set their shrine in your cradle Wordless dreams may fly high With my green lullaby Your fair face fills my mind And removes pain and sorrow The distress rests behind Standing you by my side Enjoy your sweetest dreams Don't be afraid of tomorrow In the night, your smile gleams And its shines, my way, guide When the stars in the sky Set their shrine in your cradle Wordless dreams may fly high With my green lullaby When the stars in the sky Set their shrine in your cradle Wordless dreams may fly high With my green lullaby
