Please share with the other Moms & Grandmas
online here.

What are your favorite baby lullabyes....
the ones you love to hum or sing to your baby or preschooler?

Lullabies provide a joyful, soul-soothing way to calm your fussy or colicy
baby.

Lullabies will help quietly lull baby to sleep and calm both parents at the same time.

There is just no substitute for these quiet moments of connection -- time spent nurturing your little love.

Get comfy in that rocking chair, and enjoy a few moments of peace singing to your darling baby.

Were these the same ones that your Mom or Grandma sang to you?

My sister has made one lullabye for each child special
by changing the words to suit the child & include their name in the lullabye.

What about you?

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Hush, Little Baby

(I never could get these lyrics correct, and changed it every time! QA)

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Lullaby and Good Night
by: Johannes Brahms

(OK, I never got these lyrics quite right either, but the humming helps a lot! QA)


Lullaby, and good night,
With pink roses bedight,
With lilies o'erspread,
Is my baby's sweet head.
Lay you down now, and rest,
May your slumber be blessed!
Lay you down now, and rest,
May thy slumber be blessed!

Lullaby, and good night,
You're your mother's delight,
Shining angels beside
My darling abide.
Soft and warm is your bed,
Close your eyes and rest your head.
Soft and warm is your bed,
Close your eyes and rest your head.

Sleepyhead, close your eyes.
Mother's right here beside you.
I'll protect you from harm,
You will wake in my arms.
Guardian angels are near,
So sleep on, with no fear.
Guardian angels are near,
So sleep on, with no fear.

Lullaby, and sleep tight.
Hush! My darling is sleeping,
On his sheets white as cream,
With his head full of dreams.
When the sky's bright with dawn,
He will wake in the morning.
When noontide warms the world,
He will frolic in the sun.

Rock-a-bye Baby

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

From the high rooftops, down to the sea
No one's as dear, as baby to me
Wee little fingers, eyes wide and bright
Now sound asleep, until morning light.

my sister and i always sang phil collins
You'll be in my heart to my neices and nephews.

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand
The way we feel
They just don't trust
What they can't explain
I know we're different but,
Deep in side us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
To have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Always

I love the one by Brahams but I too never remember the words so I hum it....I sing It's a Small World to Grace...calms her right down:

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hope and a world of fears
There's so much we can share and it's time we're aware it's a small, small world.

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world afer all
It's a small, small world.

There is just once moon, and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship for everyone
Though the mountains are high, and the oceans are wide
It's a small, small world.
