Hush Now Don't You Cry - The Irish Rovers

The moon has chased the fading sun

Away off to the west

The wee birds all are on the wing

Flying homeward to their nests

The twinkling stars will soon appear

For twilight time is nigh

Golden slumbers wait for you

So hush now don’t you cry

So hush a bye and don’t you cry

Until the morning light

For angels will watch over you

All through the night

All through the night

You have no cares in this wide world

Nor promises to keep

And I’ll be here beside you

Until you fall asleep

I’ll rock your cradle gently

And I’ll brush your tears away

And I’ll be there when you awake

At the dawning of the day

So hush a bye and don’t you cry

Until the morning light

For angels will watch over you

All through the night

All through the night

I watch you smiling as you sleep

Bathed in moonbeams glow

My heart is so enchanted

I can hardly rise to go

And if the day should ever come

That you have gone away

Oh I know my heart, will break in two

On that very day

So hush a bye and don’t you cry

Until the morning light

For angels will watch over you

All through the night

All through the night

So hush a bye and don’t you cry

Until the morning light

For angels will watch over you

All through the night

All through the night

All through the night

Good night
