Alfred Goodrich Music, Lyrics adapted from the poem Rock me to Sleep by Elizabeth Akers Allen.
Backward, turn backward, time in your flight,
Make me a child again just for
tonight
Over my slumber your loving watch keep;
Rock me to sleep, mother - rock me to sleep
And as the days pass, I feel you fade away from me.
And as the years last , I find you far away from me.
You sang your song with careful words,
The hush of angles is all I heard.
Let once again my heart refoice,
and find its solace in your voice.
Come from the silence so long and so deep,
Rock me to sleep mother, Rock me to sleep.
Never hereafter to wake or to weep;
Rock me to sleep, mother - rock me to sleep.
