The First Lullaby. Vera Lynn.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Sept 2000.

"Hush~a~bye my baby,
Darling don't you cry!"
That's the tender strain of a lullaby.

Back in the world's early dawn,
This is how the lullaby was born.

Someone took the rhythm from the rippling river,
Someone took the echo of a lonely sigh,

Then they stole the tender melody of springtime,
and the words were on the south wind passing by,

when they heard the heart beats of a loving Mother,
they sent them to the angels in the big blue sky,

then those angels up above,
wrote the sweetest song of love,
and gave us the first lullaby.

Someone took the rhythm from the rippling river,
Someone took the echo of a lonely sigh,

Then they stole the tender melody of springtime,
and the words were on the south wind passing by,

when they heard the heart beats of a loving Mother,
they sent them to the angels in the big blue sky,

then those angels up above,
wrote the sweetest song of love,
and gave us the first lullaby.
