Close your eyes, my sleepy child   Don't let a teardrop fall   There is no need to cry child   There is no need at all      Dry your eyes and sleep now   Let your sweet dreams flow   And when you rise know that I'll be near   Because I love you so      Don't be sad, my baby girl   Don't be bad or blue   Please don't be sad, my baby girl   Your daddy is here with you      Dry your eyes, don't weep now   Don't let a teardrop fall   Close your eyes and sleep now   God, protect us all      And God is the greatest thing   That only the fools do not know   To love God is the greatest thing   But I'm a fool and I love you so   God knows that I love you      Sleep tight, my sweet child   Don't let a teardrop flow   Goodnight, my sleepy child   There is no need for sorrow      So dry your eyes and sleep now   Let your sweet dreams flow   And when you rise know that I'll be near   Because I love you so      God knows that I love you   Sleep tight, my sweet child   Goodnight, my sweet child
