Lyrics
Don't you cry, as you lay, half asleep in your crib.
Don't you cry, for you know we are near.
let the dreams that you dream
keep you safe tonight
Good night, Hannah dear, good night
Gone are the friends and the fun of the day
The sun has gone down
it's the end of play.
Night has come
to safely tuck you in,
and when you wake, tomorrow begins.
Don't you cry, as you lay, half asleep in your crib.
Don't you cry, for you know we are near.
let the dreams that you dream
keep you safe tonight
Good night, Hannah dear, good night
Follow your heart,
it knows right from wrong.
Follow good thoughts,
they will keep you strong
Follow your dreams
Across the mighty sea,
Follow my song and come home to me.
Don't you cry, as you lay, half asleep in your crib.
Don't you cry, for you know we are near.
let the dreams that you dream
keep you safe tonight
Good night, Hannah dear, good night
