Lyrics

Soothe me softly, rock me gently,
Tuck my quilt around my toes.
I am yawning, sun is gone and
Father God knows where it goes.

Soothe me softly, rock me gently,
Kiss my forehead, rub my back.
I am sleepy, night is creeping
Stars of silver, sky so black.

BRIDGE: Sleep is sweet when You are near,
Soothe me softly, banish fear.
Breathing deep, I drift away
Hold me close, My Lord, I pray.

Soothe me softly, rock me gently,
Raindrops sing a lullabye
Window-tapping, softly chanting;
God is guarding.....Safe am I.

Oh what a nice one! The Harp is killer! And of course those voices! Once again you have hit the Bullseye!

Very pretty lullaby with soothing sounds of a children's choir backing the gentle lead vocal. The instruments used were a perfect backdrop. Well done!

Quite cute.

Hi! I like very much your song! The sound is just amazing and the instrumental arrangements too. Your voice wonderful!!! Everything perfect! Congratulation and good luck!

Definitely a lullaby type song. Very soothing, and yet able to listen to, the melody is both soothing and interesting.

harkens back to lullabies of my very early childhood. very calming and reassuring. nicely done.

Beautiful vocals and melody. nice accompany of instrumentation.
