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 the 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.
