Hush my child, please don't cry
I'm with you until the moon starts to die
I know you hurt, and so do I
but I will be here, until I must say goodbye
Let the rivers rush and the oceans rise
they will choke my tears, but not my cry
I know you want me to stay, and so do I
but I will be here, until I must say goodbye
I hold you in my arms and whisper to thee
my baby, for you, is this sweet melody
you hardly know me, yet I must go before light
but until then, I'll sing you your lullaby
The moon is dying, the sun is born in the sky
you'll be safe in my arms for this last time
hush my child, please don't cry
as I kiss you, my child, I say goodbye
