Now close your weary eyes
Sweet restless child of mine
Sleep is a friend tonight
So dream while still you can
Too innocent to know
That hearts can be unkind
Don't grow too soon sweet boy
Sleep well tonight

Lay down that sleepy head
My guileless play-worn son
Your future's all ahead
Your world has just begun
No shadows to be found
No past to weigh you down
Don't grow too soon sweet boy
Sleep well tonight

Love come take you by the hand
And lead you slowly
Too soon the child becomes a man

So little one sleep tight
Heav'n holds a place for you
Your star is shining bright
Tomorrow waits for you
Who knows what dreams may come
When childhood days are done
Don't grow too soon sweet boy
Sleep well tonight
No don't you grow too soon sweet boy
Sleep well tonight.
