Show Notes
Lullabies are gentle songs designed to encourage sleep. In this episode, I share a lullaby I wrote for my daughter and explore it further with improvisation.
Lyrics
Sleep, sleep little mountain child, Sleep and dream of the wild. World fades, Into deep blue shade, As the valley wind blows mild.
Dream, dream now my little one, Dream of moon and setting sun. Starlight, Dances clear and bright, For the day is nearly done.
And the mountain peaks on high, Blush with rose across the sky. Alpenglow on glacier snow, Shines with final light. Time to say good night.
Rest, rest my little dear, Rest and sleep now without fear. Dream on, Listen to this song. For you know your family's near.
