My little, black dove Curled up in your nest of love The moon is a charm To keep you from harm Asleep at my breast The stars are alight To watch over you at night The river of sleep Flows gentle and deep To rock you to rest So sleep, little one 'Til darkness is by Sleep 'til the sun Rises up in the sky My little, black dove Curled up in your nest of love And go to your rest Asleep at my breat My little, black dove
