What They're Saying...
Good Night,
Little One
When I was writing personalized children's songs,
I was often asked to write a song for a newborn.
So I would write a lullaby. Some years later,
I decided to collect some of those lullabies,
take out the names, locations, and any other
identifying factors, and produce a CD.
Warning:
Please do not operate heavy machinery while listening. Sweet dreams.

From the moment I looked into
Your familiar face
I knew that I had found a love
That time would not erase
Sent from above
You have come to bless
Here in your love
I find true happiness
CHILD, WHEN YOU SMILE
YOUR LIGHT SHINES THROUGH
ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD
EVERY BOY, EVERY GIRL
ALL IS RIGHT WITH YOU
SLEEP PEACEFULLY, MY CHILD
We were meant to be together
Here to learn and guide
Our hearts go on forever
Side by side
Sent from above
You have come to bless
Here in your love
I find true happiness
CHILD, WHEN YOU SMILE…

There’s a new little child in my home
There’s a new little voice in the air
There’s a new baby’s crib in the nursery now
There’s a new kind of love that we share
My little honeybee
Each time you smile at me
I can see who you are
My little honeybee
You mean the world to me
Welcome into my heart
I wished on a star and one day
There came a happy surprise
My little honeybee finally arrived
With the light of love in your eyes
My little honeybee…
3. Good Night, Little One © Maria (Beddy) LoBalbo
Good night little one
‘Til the light of day
Good night little one
Hold on tight to your dreams and fly away
Don’t be alarmed when the strong wind blows you
Don’t be harmed when a cold word throws you
Deep in your heart keep the love that we gave
Keep your joy it will make you braver
Good night little one
‘Til the light of day
Good night little one
Hold on tight to your dreams and fly away
Let the peace of your world enfold you
Learn to let the fleeting moments hold you
Glide on the wings of ideas where they take you
Find your beauty in the secrets that make you
Good night little one
‘Til the light of day
Good night little one
Hold on tight to your dreams and fly away
4. Your Safe and Peaceful Sleep
(Traditional lullabye Oj Talasi from Sarajevo)
Lyrics by Maria (Beddy) LoBalbo
See how the moonlight
Shines through the pine trees
Sparkling the snowflakes that
Float on the breeze
The fire in the hearth is
burning so bright
To keep our little house
warm through the night
Faithful teddy bear sits close by
Mama’s here now, close your eyes
Beautiful angels their vigil keep
To guard your safe and peaceful sleep
To guard your safe and peaceful sleep

6. BABY OF MINE © Maria (Beddy) LoBalbo
We’re on Cloud Nine
Nearly all of the time
Baby of Mine, Baby of Mine
You’re the big little child
Who makes all of us smile
Baby, Dear Baby of mine
Baby of Mine
My, Oh My
We’re singing you a lullabye
May our love give you wings to fly
Baby, oh Baby of Mine
We can’t wait
‘Til tomorrow to play
Baby of Mine, Baby of Mine
You’re the star in our night and
The sun in our day
Baby, Dear Baby of mine
Baby of Mine
My, Oh My
We’re singing you a lullabye
May our love give you wings to fly
Baby, oh Baby of Mine

Music from a traditional Gaelic lullabye
SLEEP NOW, SLEEP IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
SLEEP NOW, SLEEP IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
SLEEP NOW, FREE FROM ALL HARM TONIGHT
I AM KEEPING YOU SAFE
I can’t stop the rain coming through
I can’t make all your dreams come true
I can always be here for you
I am keeping you safe
SLEEP NOW, SLEEP IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
SLEEP NOW, SLEEP IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
SLEEP NOW, FREE FROM ALL HARM TONIGHT
I AM KEEPING YOU SAFE
I can’t say what your fate will bring
I can’t give to you everything
I can love you through anything
I am keeping you safe
SLEEP NOW, SLEEP IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
SLEEP NOW, SLEEP IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
SLEEP NOW, FREE FROM ALL HARM TONIGHT
I AM KEEPING YOU SAFE
8. LOVE IS HERE TO STAY © Maria (Beddy) LoBalbo
Good night, good night, it’s time to sleep
I sing you on your way
And in your eyes I realize
Love is here to stay
Every day is happy in my heart
Since we came together
We’ll never be apart
And life is new and different every day
Happy in each moment
In a sweet and simple way
Goodnight good night, it’s time to sleep
I sing you on your way
And in my soul this truth I hold
Love is here to stay
And in my soul this truth I hold
Love is here to stay
9. BEDDY-BYE © Maria (Beddy) LoBalbo
Beddy-bye
It’s time to put all the toys away
Beddy-bye
It’s time for closing your eyes
Saying goodbye to the day
You can dream about the great things you’re going to do
You can dream about the wishes you hope come true
And for the whole night through
I’m dreaming right here with you.
