Slumber My Darling
By American Songwriter Stephen Foster in 1862
Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near,
Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear,
Sunlight has pass'd and the twilight has gone,
Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on.
Sweet visions attend thy sleep,
Fondest, dearest to me,
While others their revels keep,
I will watch over thee.
Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
Wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.
Sweet visions attend thy sleep,
Fondest, dearest to me,
While others their revels keep,
I will watch over thee.
Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.

Thanks for the lyrics, Sue! Now I'll be ready to sing it to the next baby I rock. ~Chris T.
Hi - do you know how I can get hold of Andre's concert ticket at his hometown July next year ? Or - is there a way I can purchase it from US ? Most of the website are in Dutch. The only place that is selling it is onlineticketshop.nl - do you know how legit they are since they do not show block or row number. Thank you very much for any info you may have ! elkhartmilis@yahoo.com
