"Rock-a-Bye Baby"

Performed by Super Sunshine Kids

Source: YouTube

Rock-a-bye, baby
In the treetop.
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
The cradle will fall.
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all.

Baby is drowsing,
Cozy and fair.
Mother sits near,
In her rocking chair.
Forward and back,
The cradle she swings.
And though baby sleeps,
He hears what she sings.

Rock-a-bye baby,
Do not you fear.
Never mind baby,
Mother is near.
Wee little fingers,
Eyes are shut tight.
Now sound asleep,
Until morning light.

"Baby Mine"

Performed by Bette Midler

Source: AZ Lyrics

Baby mine, don't you cry.
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head, close to my heart,
Never to part, baby of mine.

Little one, when you play,
Pay no heed, what they say.
Let your eyes sparkle and shine,
Never a tear, baby of mine.

If they knew all about you,
They'd end up loving you too.
All those same people who scold you,
What they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From your head down to your toes,
You're not much, goodness knows.
But, you're so precious to me,
Sweet as can be, baby of mine.

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing, Morning bells are ringing,
Ding Ding Dong, Ding Ding Dong.

Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez vous? Dormez vous?
Sonnez les matines, Sonnez les matines
Ding Ding Dong, Ding Ding Dong

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Performed by Judy Garland

Source: AZ Lyrics

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the clouds are far,
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly,
Beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why can't I?
