Go to sleep my little soldier I've heard you say your Prayers And I listened as you told him Your troubles and your cares. Dont you worry about the sorrow You've seen in daddies eyes Go to sleep until tomorrow And I'll sing this Lullaby (Chorus) Hush Hush abye baby of mine Hush and tomorrow will All turn out fine. 2 First you told him of the soldiers That you shout at Every day Saying please help me Not to hate them But I wish they'd go away, Then you asked him to forgive them Though you didn't quite know why Sleep in peace until tomorrow And I'll sing this Lullaby. (Chorus as above) 3 Then you prayed for all the people Who'd been burned Or who'd been shot down Asking when will it be over when will peace come to our town, Sad'nd I wish I knew the answers Like I knew the reasons why So sleep on until tomorrow While I sing this Lullaby. (Chorus as above) 4 Dream about a new tomorrow When we finally count the cost Of the words allready spoken Of the lives allready lost, When you pretend you live together Though we dont see eye to eye Dream about that new tomorrow As I sing this Lullaby, Chorus Hush hush abye baby of mine Hush cause tomorrow The Sun always shines Hush hush abye baby of mine Hush and tomorrow will all Turn out fine. |
