This song by Alison Kraus and Yo-Yo Ma echos my heart as I watch my sleeping babies. I love to go in a kiss them at night afer they are fast asleep. Tyler is growing so fast and it won't be long before I won't be able to pick him up and rock him, holding him close in my arms as his face nuzzles in my neck.
Slumber my darling
Thy mother is near
Guarding they dreams
From all terror and fear
Sunlight has past
And the twilight has gone
Slumber my darling
The night's coming on
Sweet visions attend they sleep
Fondest dearest to me
While others their revels keep
I will watch over thee
Slumber my darling
The birds are at rest
Wandering dews
By the flowers are caressed
Slumber my darling
I'll wrap thee up warm
Pray that the angels
Will shield thee from harm
Slumber my darling
Til morn's blushing ray
Brings to the world
The glad tidings of day
Fill the dark void
With thy dreaming delight
Slumber thy mother
Will guard thee tonight
Thy pillow shall sacred be
From all outward alarm
Thou thou art the world to me
In thy innocent charms
Slumber my darling
The birds are at rest
Wandering dews
By the flowers are caressed
Slumber my darling
I'll wrap thee up warm
Pray that the angels
Will shield thee from harm
