Lullaby Lyrics by Ricky Ian Gordon

Autumn Valentine

1994

Sleep, pretty lady, the night is enfolding you;
Drift, and so lightly, on crystalline streams
Wrapped in its perfumes, the darkness is holding you;
Starlight bespangles the way of your dreams
Chorus the nightingales, wistfully amorous;
Blessedly quiet, the blare of the day
All the sweet hours may your visions be glamorous-
Sleep, pretty lady, as long as you may
Sleep, pretty lady, the night shall be still for you;
Silvered and silent, it watches you rest
Each little breeze, in its eagerness, will for you
Murmur the melodies ancient and blest
So in the midnight does happiness capture us;
Morning is dim with another day's tears
Give yourself sweetly to images rapturous-
Sleep, pretty lady, a couple of years
Sleep, pretty lady, the world awaits day with you;
Girlish and golden, the slender young moon
Grant the fond darkness its mystical way with you;
Morning returns to us ever too soon
Roses unfold, in their loveliness, all for you;
Blossom the lilies for hope of your glance
When you're awake, all the men go and fall for you-
Sleep, pretty lady, and give me a chance
