Crystal Lullaby

Listen to the song he sings
Can't you see his music brings her crystal sleep?
As her heavy eyelids fall
He's taking her to where the dolls rule the world

And in that land of make believe
Is where he'll leave her sleeping
Softly warm in a crystal lullaby

He's weaving her a paper castle
Where dancing clowns with tassels made of fur
Welcome her into their world
That lives inside the dreams of every little girl

She's guarded by a brave tin soldier
Sitting on her shoulder
Taken there in a crystal lullaby

Sometimes when I listen to
The velvet song that fills a summer afternoon
Something deep within me sighs
And wishes for the peaceful skies of long ago

That wrapped my cares in silver air
And carried them away
Leaving me and a crystal lullaby

That wrapped my cares in silver air
And carried them away
Leaving me and a crystal lullaby
