vox clamantis in deserto

Hush, Little One

lyrics by harlan blynn

Verse 1:
What do you say at the end of the day?
The sun so low, pink clouds turn gray.
Do you whisper goodnight as the green lights glow?
Or sing sweet songs to the valley below?
What do you say at the end of the day?
The sun so low, pink clouds turn gray.

Chorus:
Hush, little one, the world’s winding down;
The stars are twinkling, the moon wears a crown;
Close your eyes, let yourself take to flight;
Sweet dreams to you, under the gentle light.

Verse 2:
What do you do when the owl says “Who?”
He’s asking questions. And this one’s for you.
Do you pull up the blanket and pretend to hide?
Or call out his name and ask for a ride?
What do you do when the owl says “Who?”
He’s asking questions. And this one’s for you.

Chorus:
Hush, little one, the world’s winding down;
The stars are twinkling, the moon wears a crown;
Close your eyes, let yourself take to flight;
Sweet dreams to you, under the gentle light.

Verse 3:
If wishes had wings, where would they fly?
Over the oceans and mountains so high.
Would you catch on to one and wrap it with dreams?
Or share it with a friend for a scoop of ice cream?
If wishes had wings, where would they fly?
Over the oceans and mountains so high.

Chorus:
Hush, little one, the world’s winding down
The stars are twinkling, the moon wears a crown
Close your eyes, let yourself take to flight
Sweet dreams to you, under the pale moon light.

Hush, little one, the world’s winding down
The stars are twinkling, the moon wears a crown
Close your eyes, let yourself take to flight
Sweet dreams to you, under the pale moon light.
