From the recording Wee Willie Winkie Lullaby
Lyrics
Verse 1]
The stars are all yawning, the moon’s in the sky,
He hums a soft tune as the dream clouds float by.
He tiptoes past nightlights and teddy bears, too,
Whispering, “Sleep now—the world waits for you.”
[Chorus]
Close your eyes, don’t make a peep,
Wee Willie Winkie watches your sleep.
Blankets tucked and dreams begun,
He won’t stop ‘til the night is done.
[Verse 2]
He visits the rooftops and lanes down below,
With a heart full of hush and a magical glow.
One by one, the town grows still,
Held by the hush of Winkie’s will.
[instrumental]
[Final Chorus]
Close your eyes, don’t make a peep,
Wee Willie Winkie watches your sleep.
Blankets tucked and dreams begun,
You’re safe and warm till the morning sun.
