Lay me down gently, lay me down low I fear I am broken and won't mend, I know One thing I ask when the stars light the skies Who now will sing me lullabies Oh who now will sing me lullabies In this big world I'm lonely, for I am but small Oh angels in heaven, don't you care for me at all? You heard my heart breaking for it rang through the skies So why don't you sing me lullabies Oh why don't you sing me lullabies I lay here; I'm weeping for the stars they have come I lay here not sleeping; now the long night has begun The man in the moon, oh he can't help but cry For there's no one to sing me lullabies Oh there's no one to sing me lullabies So lay me down gently, oh lay me down low I fear I am broken and won't mend, I know One thing I ask when the stars light the skies Who now will sing me lullabies Oh who now will sing me lullabies Who will sing me to sleep Who will sing me to sleep Who will sing me to sleep Who will sing me to sleep
