autumn lullaby
The sun has gone from the shining skies Bye, baby, bye The dandelions have closed their eyes Bye, baby, bye The stars are lighting their lamps to see The babes and squirrels and birds and bees Are sound asleep as they ought to be Bye, baby, bye The squirrel keeps warm in his furs of gray Bye, baby, bye 'Neath feathers, birdies are tucked away Bye, baby, bye The robin's home is a nest o'erhead The bees, they nest in a hive instead My baby's nest is her little bed Bye, baby, bye
