lyrics

14. FRIENDLY NIGHT 

REFRAIN: Friendly night has come again, beck'ning you to slumber.
Close your weary eyes and rest while I sing to you.

1 Recall the pleasant things you did today;
embrace them in your memory.
Ended now are work and play,
so let sleep come to you.

REFRAIN: Friendly night has come again, beck'ning you to slumber.
Close your weary eyes and rest while I sing to you.

2 Pictures that you make in your mind
can help you drift away to sleep now;
picture yourself sleeping through the night
cradled in the arms of loved ones.

REFRAIN: Friendly night has come again, beck'ning you to slumber.
Close your weary eyes and rest while I sing to you.

3 Gentle darkness blankets all,
the stars are gleaming brightly.
It's time to slow your breathing down;
Snuggle in with a peaceful sigh.

REFRAIN: Friendly night has come again, beck'ning you to slumber.
Close your weary eyes and rest while I sing to you.

4 I'm glad you are my own dear child;
you bring joy to my life each day.
I treasure this time while you are young;
How quickly it slips away.

REFRAIN: Friendly night has come again, beck'ning you to slumber.
Close your weary eyes and rest while I sing to you.

REFRAIN TUNE: Go to sleep, my precious one. Go to sleep, my darling.
Slumber on till morning comes; go to sleep, my love.

(REFRAIN TUNE, WITH LA-LA-LA...)
