Betty Comden - Medley: Opening Titles / Tender Shepherd lyrics

[Wendy, spoken] Stars are beautiful But they may not take an active part in anything They must just look on forever The older ones have become glossy-eyed in seldom speak But the little ones still wonder They are not really friendly to Peter Pan Who has a mischievous way of sneaking up behind them and trying to blow them out But they are so fond of fun, that they were on his side tonight And anxious to get the grown-ups out of the way As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Darling were out of the house, the smallest of the stars in the Milky Way screamed out, "Now Peter!" [Mrs. Darling, spoken] Oh dear, I wish I weren't going out to dinner tonight [Michael, spoken] Can anything harm us mother, after the night lights are out? [Mrs. Darling, spoken] Oh, nothing precious They are the eyes a mother leaves behind To guard her children Now, sing your "goodnight song" and into bed [Children] Tender shepherd, tender shepherd Let me help you count your sheep One in the meadow Two in the garden Three in the nursery Fast asleep [Mrs. Darling, spoken] Goodnight dear, fast asleep [Wendy] One say your prayers and [John] Two close your eyes and [Michael] Three safe and happily fall asleep Fall asleep Fall asleep [Mrs. Darling, spoken] Fall asleep Dear night lights, let protect my sleeping children Burn clear and stead fast tonight
