1. Birds in the night that softly call, 
Winds in the night that strangely sigh, 
Come to me, help me, one and all, 
And murmur, murmur, murmur, murmur baby’s lullaby, 
Lullaby, Lullaby, 
Lulla lulla lulla lulla lullaby. 
Lullaby baby, While the hours run, 
Fair may the day be 
When night is done, 
Lullaby baby, 
While the hours run, 
Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby. 

2. Life may be sad for us that wake, 
Sleep little bird and dream not why, 
Soon is the sleep but God can break 
When angel’s whisper, whisper, angel’s whisper 
lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby, 
Lulla lulla lulla lulla lullaby. 
Lullaby baby, 
While the hours run, 
Fair may the day be when night is done, 
Lullaby baby, 
While the hours run, 
Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby.
