Warm and Tender lyrics

(Carol Hall)

Jenny Rebecca, four days old
How do you like the world so far
Jenny Rebecca, four days old
What a lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky girl you are

For you have swings to be swung on
Trees to be climbed up
Days to be young on
Toys you can wind up
Grass to be lying on
Sun up above
Pillows for crying on
When you're in love
Ponies for riding on
Wind in your hair

(Traditional Czech Carol; English lyrics by Percy Dearmer)

Hush my baby, sweetly sleep
Do not cry
I will sing a lullaby
I will rock you, rock you, rock you
I will rock you, rock you, rock you
Feel my arms that keep you warm
Snuggling around your tiny form
Precious baby, sweetly sleep
Sleep in peace
Sleep in comfort, slumber deep
I will rock you, rock you, rock you

(Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields)

Someday when I'm awf'ly low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart

(Traditional German Lullaby)

Lullaby, lullaby, my lovely one
Close your eyes and sweetly dream
Lullaby, lullaby, my lovely one
Sleep in moonlight's silvery dreams
Up above so slowly sailing by
The moon roams across the sky
Lullaby, lullaby, my lovely one
Close your eyes and sweetly dream

(Richard Rogers/Oscar Hammerstein II)

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

(Joe Henry/John Jarvis)

Earth is our mother
Just turning around
With her trees in the forest
And roots underground
Our father above us
Whose sigh is the wind
Paint us a rainbow
Without any end

As the river runs freely
The mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers
And see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children
A pure love still grows
Like a bright star in Heaven

(Traditional)

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

(Olivia Newton-John/John Farrar)

Warm and tender is my prayer for your world
That I surrender to my girl
All my life I've waited for the angel you are
You're the dream that I knew you'd be
And I love you completely my Chloe/Chloe

Warm and tender--I will color your days
With smiles and friends along the way
From the silver morning
To the blue velvet night

(Traditional)

Rock a bye baby on the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bow breaks
The cradle will fall
But I will save baby
Cradle and all

(Paul Francis Webster/Jerry Livingston)

You ask me how much I need you
Must I explain
I need you oh my darling
Like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you
I'll tell you true
Until the Twelfth of Never
I'll still be loving you

Hold me close
Never let me go
Hold me close
Melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells
Forget to bloom

(Traditional)

Hushabye, don't you cry
Go to sleep little baby
When you wake, you shall take
All the pretty little horses
Blacks and bays, dapples and greys
Coach and six little horses
Hushabye, don't you cry
Go to sleep little baby

(Ned Washington/Leigh Harline)

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in a dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through

(Johannes Brahms)

Sleep my darling good night
Fair angels in white
Shall watch over your sleep
And safely you keep
Close your sweet starlike eyes
Into dreams paradise
Close your sweet starlike eyes
Into dreams paradise

Goodnight

(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)

When you go through a day
And the things that people say
They make you feel so small
They make you feel that
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking

Darlin' reach out for me
Don't you worry, I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll comfort you
Oh yes, I will

(Lyrics translated by R. Devon)

Sleep then my princess, oh sleep
Slowly the grey shadows creep
Forest and meadow are still
Peace falls on valley and hill
Luna appears in the sky
Holding her lantern on high
Stars now their night watches keep
Sleep then my princess, oh sleep
Goodnight, goodnight
