Lullaby for Ruth

May your good night greet a good night tonight.
May your dreams take you over the moon.
May the starlight be a star bright tonight.
Kindle dreams to keep you warm till light.
Sand slowly sifting from a lullaby, I see you drifting:
Drift away, drift away, but drift back to me.

May moonlight play softly in your hair.
May the night's peace release every care.
May you borrow from tomorrow's promises
That tomorrow holds no sorrow in its kiss.
Sand slowly sifting into your eyes I see you drifting:
Drift away, drift away, but drift back to me.

May your wishing well wish you well tonight.
May the wishes fill your bucket with delight.
And I wish I may, I wish I might, wish upon you every night,
And be here when you drift back to the morning.
Sand slowly sifting into your eyes, I see you drifting:
Drift away, drift away, but drift back to me.
