Babe, in your cradle lay,
Gently swing you back and forth,
May all your life be smooth,
Kept on course, kept on course.
Babe, dream of pleasant things,
Gently swing you back and forth,
Running through fields of grain,
Jumping in puddles after rain.
Babe, may all life's storms subside,
Gently swing you back and forth,
May you always know the way,
And walk it every day.
Babe, may you find another,
Gently swing you back and forth,
To cherish all that you become,
Keep your smiles in the sun.
Babe, may all my dreams for you,
Gently swing you back and forth,
Keep a light lit deep inside,
And never flicker or subside.
