Lullaby, rock-a-bye
Rocking to sleep is okay, but not rock and roll. It should be a song with the word "lullaby" or one that's clearly about lulling someone to sleep.

Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Lullaby
and goodnight
on this starry
this starry night
sleep tight, tonight...
---Book of Love, "Lullaby"
Sons of your sons, sons passing by
Children were lost in lullaby
Sons Of
Judy Collins
Tender shepherd
Tender shepherd
Let me help you count your sheep
One in the meadow
Two in the garden
Three safe and happily fall asleep
(Comden/Green, "Tender Shepherd", from "Peter Pan")
I shall find for you
Shells and stars,
I shall swim for you
River and sea.
Sleep, my love,
Sleep for me.
My sleep is old.
from "The Consul" by Gian Carlo Menotti
Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
(Churchill/Washington, from the Disney movie "Dumbo")
(can't you just see the Mama cradling little Dumbo in her trunk, rocking him to sleep?)
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
(Arlen/Harburg)
Here's a big umbrella,
Keep the baby dry.
Here is baby's cradle,
Rock-a-baby-bye.
Emilie Poulsson fingerplay
hush, little baby, don't say word,
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird,
Rock a bye baby, in the tree top
traditional
And just before
she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullaby
I sing
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye,
rockabye...
---Shawn Mullins, "Lullabye"
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
(I think it is from 42nd street, but I know it from The Muppet Show)
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes and Nod is a little head, and the wooden shoe that sailed the skies is a wee one's trundle bed.
So close your eyes while mother sings
of wonderful sights that be, and you shall see the beautiful things as you rock in the misty sea.
I sang it once and I sang it twice, gonna sing it three times more
I'm gonna stay till your resistance is overcome
For if I can't sing my boy to sleep then it makes your famous daddy look so dumb
Look so dumb
St. Judy's Comet, Paul Simon
Where the dreamy Volga flows
Theres a lonely Russian rose
Gazing tenderly down upon her knee
Where a baby's brown eyes glisten
Listen
Evry night you'll hear her croon
A Russian lullaby
Just a little plaintive tune
When baby starts to cry
Rock-a-bye my baby
Somewhere there may be
A land that's free for you and me
And a Russian lullaby
(Irving Berlin)
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty wanton do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Lulla-lulla-lullaby
My mom sang it. Probably traditional.
Sleep my child let peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee
All through the night
Soft I hear the (something) creeping
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping
And I my silent vigil keeping
All through the night
traditional with a beautiful melody
Once all the germans were warlike and mean
But that couldn't happen again
We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they've hardly bothered us since then
So sleep baby sleep...
MLF Lullaby, Tom Lerher (comedy, not a real song to sing to a baby)
Go to sleep little baby
Go to sleep little baby
You and me and the devil makes three
Don't need no other lovin' baby
From O Brother Where Art Thou
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should bid me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Lullaby of birdland
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for you
Dream sweet dreams for me
The Beatles - Good Night
Love is all around you, comforting
WIth gentle lullaby to make your heart sing
from the movie "Brother Sun, Sister Moon," by Zeffirelli. I think Donovan wrote it, but it's sung in the story by the mother of St. Francis, when he's in a fever (and before he was a saint, y'know...)
