Go to sleep my precious one
I know what you've been through
Know that you are loved
I am here for you
I've been blessed since you were born
And you will always be
So very special to me
Go to sleep, go to sleep
My precious one.

Are you Ready to Rock?
Copyright © 2006 Amy Skelton Otey & Alexander V. Otey
Are you ready to rock-a-bye baby the whole night through
Are you ready to rock-a-bye baby while your mama sings to you
Are you ready to rock-a-bye baby just close your eyes
Are you ready to rock, rock through the night.
Are you ready to dream my little one the whole night through
Are you ready to dream my little one let your daddy sing to you
Are you ready to dream big dreams just close your eyes
Are you ready to dream, dream, dream through the night
Are you ready to sleep and grow big the whole night through
Are you ready to sleep and grow big let gramdma sing to you
It's time to sleep and grow bigger just close your eyes
It's time to sleep, sleep, sleep throught the night
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do, Do Do do Do
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do, Do Do do Do
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do, Do Do do Do
Sleep, sleep ,sleep through the night (through the night)
Sleep, sleep ,sleep through the night (through the night)

Get Along
Copyright © 2006 Amy Skelton Otey & Alexander V. Otey
Get along little doggies - it's time to rest
I'll sing you to sleep and the earth sends her best
Crickets are chirping, little birds in their nests
Get along little doggies to sleep
The wind it will whistle, the breeze it will kiss
The hoot owl wakes up and the sun starts to dip
All is well in your heart, as the shadows do creep
Get along little doggies to sleep
Rock in the saddle, rock in the cradle
I'll rock you to sleep, sleep, sleep
Rock in the saddle, rock in the cradle
It's time to sleep, sleep, sleep.

Time Passes
Copyright © 2006 Amy Skelton Otey & Alexander V. Otey
Time Passes, Time flies, you're growing up before my eyes
Time passes, time flies, you're growing up before my eyes
We once stood high upon a hill, Where we looked down and it was still
You held my hand, I held you tight, We were the stars, we were the night
And I told you that I love you then and there
And my heart will follow you everywhere
I will chase away the fears and dry up all the tears
and I'll tell you that I love you in my prayers
Time Passes, Time flies, (Instrumental)
Time passes, time flies, (Instrumental)
My (that) little boy, he grew up strong
It didn't last, no it didn't last long
I miss the hugs and the reading in bed
I miss the smell of the hair on his head
And I tell you that I love you in my prayers
In my heart you are a part of all my cares
I will chase away the fears and dry up all the tears
and I tell you that I love you in my prayers
So now I stand upon a hill, and I look down where it was still
In my mind you hold my hand, I hold you tight
We are the stars, we are the night…

Fly
Copyright © 2006 Amy Skelton Otey & Alexander V. Otey
Fly little firefly shine your light
Fly little firefly all through the night
on the wings of a dream
together lets fly fly fly
Flit little butterfly, on the breeze
flit little butterfly through the trees
on the wings of a dream
together lets fly fly fly
Buzz little bumble bee buzz buzz buzz
come to rest on a flower if only becuase
on the wings of a dream
together lets fly fly fly
Moonbeams and starshine inhabit my room
Snuggly and safe in my blanket cocoon
Dreams are for wishing and making come true
Fly Fly Fly
Fly Fly Fly
Fly Fly Fly
.................Fly

Soft As The Snow
Copyright © 2006 Amy Skelton Otey & Alexander V. Otey
Soft as the Snow, light on the ground
My love for you knows no bounds
Hold you so close, gently to sleep
slumber, slumber deep
Sweet little one, I will abide
and tend you as you rest
Sweet little baby, I'll stay by your side
And give you all my best
Out on Slumber, Slumber deep

Dona Nobis Pacem
Traditional
Collection of Lullabies, Copyright © 2006 Amy Skelton Otey & Alexander V. Otey
Dona nobis pacem, pacem.
Dona nobis pacem.
Dona nobis pacem.
Dona nobis pacem.
Dona nobis pacem.
Dona nobis pacem.
Directly translated it means "Give us peace".
This is a traditional Latin hymn that is beautiful when sung as a round.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Traditional
Collection of Lullabies, Copyright © 2006 Amy Skelton Otey & Alexander V. Otey
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark -
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

The Water is Wide
Traditional
Collection of Lullabies, Copyright © 2006 Amy Skelton Otey & Alexander V. Otey
The water is wide, I can’t cross over
And neither have I wings to fly.
Give me a boat, that will carry two,
And both shall row, my love and I.
A ship there is, and she sails the sea,
She's gathered deep as deep can be,
But not as deep as the love I'm in;
I know not how I sink or swim.
O love is handsome and love is fine,
The sweetest flower, when first it's new;
But love grows old, and waxes cold
And lights my life like the morning dew.

Goodnight Sweetheart
Copyright © 1997 Amy Skelton Otey
Goodnight sweetheart, don't let the moon catch you awake this late
lay down your head, and the sleep will come to you
[Chorus]
Looking forward, tomorrow
Only time to borrow
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
Peace, Peace, Peace
Goodnight sweetheart, even the birds have gone to sleep
Just close your eyes, and the sleep will come to you
Chorus
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
Peace, Peace, Peace

I Dream of Peace
Copyright © 2006 Amy Skelton Otey & Alexander V. Otey
Now I lay me down to sleep
I close my eyes and I breathe deeply
I think about the day that's been
I think about the world we're in
I dream of peace....
I dream of peace....
Time to love, and time to share
Time to hug my teddy bear
Long streches of quiet time
to think, read do and rhyme
I dream of peace....
I dream of peace....
At the end of the day I will count all the smiles
And how I have spent all those little whiles
All strung together for miles and miles
And that's how I'll measure me
I dream of peace....
I dream of peace....
Do, do, do, do, do ooh...

Irish Lullaby
Traditional with new words
Copyright © 2005 Amy Skelton Otey
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again , may God hold you in the palm of his hand
May your heart be always filled with laughter
May your sorrows be few and far between
May you always find the child within yourself
May you listen to the music of the world
And until we meet again, yes we will meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand
