Golden slumbers kiss your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty baby, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.
Cares you know not, therefore sleep
While over you a watch I’ll keep
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.
[Quotation from “Cradle Song” by Thomas Dekker (16th cent). A poem used by the Beatles as the inspiration for their “Cradle Song” on the 1969 Abbey Road Album.]
