Channel: Lightbulb Heart
Date: 2020-06-18

Twinkle Twinkle got me thinking about all the stars in our universe! I love the pictures from the Hubble Telescope. I hope you find them as beautiful and soothing as I do.

Music by Johannes Brahms
Lyrics by Georg Scherer & William Engvick

Lyrics:
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Go to sleep now, my darling
While the night wind through the trees
Sings a lullaby for you

Go to sleep my dearest one
Sleep and dream now my darling
For your safe in my arms
In my arms all night through

Now the moon riding by
Turns the shadows to silver
And the breezes with a sigh
Whisper soft across the hills

All the fields are alive
Where the wild things are playing
Til the stars disappear
And the whole world is still

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Go to sleep now, my darling
For your safe in my arms
In my arms all night through
