I wrote this song for a friend who recently gave birth to a beautiful chubby-cheeked baby girl named Adelaide. Adelaide is blessed with a warm and loving family and, in Adelaide's honour, I'd like to dedicate this lullaby to the many children who are left to the winds of a different fate. May they too rest in the heart of Love.
Close your eyes, little one.
Angels whisper, 'Hush and close your eyes and drift along to dreamland.
Moonbeams shine, cherubs laugh and smiling stars twinkle bright.
You are safe in the loving arms of sweet goodnight.'
Close your eyes.
