After our first grandchild was born, our daughter called to ask if we were going to write a lullaby for her then, little 3 month-old daughter. She reminded us that we wrote and sang a song for her when she was young, and therefore, her little newborn should have one as well, that we could all use to sing her to sleep. We love a challenge, and would do anything our daughter asks of us. So we thought about it for a few minutes, and had it completely written within a couple of hours.

This page is private, but you can still listen in on the Lullaby that emerged that night.

Lyrics

Scattered among the Milky Way
All the way to the moon
Millions of twinkling stars say
Sweet dreams
Nighty-night Rosie June

When your sweet blue eyes close
No matter if night or noon
We are waiting here for you
Sweet dreams
Nighty-night Rosie June

You’ve had such a busy day
Filled with fun and love
Now it’s time to rest a bit
And dream

Floating above white fluffy clouds
Drifting with kites and balloons
You will soar on wings of sleep
Sweet dreams
Nightly-night Rosie June
