Lori from Dadi 🌙

Sleep, my little moonbeam, sleep, Dadi's arms will hold you deep. The night is soft, the stars are near, Dadi is here, my darling dear. Aaja nindiya, come and rest, softly on my loving chest. Close your eyes, my little one, the moon will watch till morning sun. Hush now, hush now, all is well, Dadi has a dream to tell. Of gardens green and skies of blue, of all the love I hold for you.

Sleepy little moon up high, drifting slowly through the sky. Shine your light so soft and pale, sing my baby this sweet tale. Down below the world is still, quiet river, quiet hill. Close your eyes, my precious one, the busy, happy day is done. Sleepy little moon, sleep too, I will watch the night with you. Dream of stars and silver streams, float away on gentle dreams.

Hush now, little one, hush now, rest, snuggled warm against my chest. The day was long and full of play, now we put the world away. Hush now, little one, close your eyes, underneath the starry skies. Mama's here and Mama's near, nothing in the dark to fear. Hush now, little one, soft and deep, let me rock you off to sleep. Breathe in slow and breathe out slow, off to dreamland now we go.

One little star is closing its eyes, two little stars in the soft night skies. Three little stars are drifting away, folding up the light of day. Sleep, my love, the stars are sleeping, gentle night is softly creeping. Moonlight on your pillow gleaming, time for you to start your dreaming. Four little stars are warm and deep, five little stars have gone to sleep. And now, my darling, so will you, goodnight, goodnight, I love you too.

Soft rain falling on the roof, pitter-patter, gentle proof that the sky is singing low, a sleepy song for you to know. Drip and drop and drip and drop, let your busy thoughts all stop. Snuggle deeper, warm and dry, while the clouds drift slowly by. Soft rain falling, soft and slow, washing all the day below. Close your eyes, my little dear, sleep is sweet when rain is near.

My little sunbeam, day is done, you have laughed and played and run. Now the sun has gone to bed, rest your sleepy, sleepy head. You're the warmth that lights my day, the gentlest joy in every way. But even sunbeams have to rest, so close your eyes, my very best. Tomorrow when you wake and rise, I'll see the sunshine in your eyes. But now it's night, so softly beam, and drift away to a happy dream.

Sail away, my little love, beneath the quiet stars above. The sea is calm, the night is deep, let the waves rock you to sleep. Rocking, rocking, soft and slow, where the gentle currents go. No need to steer and no need to row, just let the sleepy waters flow. Sail away to dreaming shores, past the moon and past the stars. I'll be your harbour, safe and warm, to hold you gently till the morn.
