Crystal Lullaby - Carpenters

Listen to the song he sings

Can't you see his music brings her

Crystal sleep



As her heavy eyelids fall

He's taking her to where the dolls

Rule the world



And in that land of make believe

Is where he'll leave her sleeping

Softly warm

In a crystal lullaby



He's weaving her a paper castle

Where dancing clowns with tassels made of fur

Welcome her into their world

That lives inside the dreams

Of every little girl



She's guarded by a brave tin soldier

Sitting on her shoulder

Taken there

In a crystal lullaby



Sometimes when I listen to

The velvet song that fills the summer afternoon

Something deep within me sighs

And wishes for the peaceful skies

Of long ago



(*) That wrapped my cares

In silver air

And carried them away

Leaving me ...

And a crystal lullaby



Repeat (*)
