Do You Remember This?

We've been singing a lot of baby lullabies these past few weeks. Spencer was singing "Here comes the Sandman" last night to Caleb. He told Karen that I made up the song. I told him that my mother sang it to me, and her mother sang it to her. Then I found it on the Internet to prove that it's been around for a long time. Some of the words were a bit different, but the song was clearly the same one.

Let's see how well my children remember the lyrics to this old lullaby I sang to you when you were babies. See if you can fill in the blanks (by posting comments).

Here comes the sandman

_________ so lightly

_________ along on the tips of his toes

As he sprinkles the sand with his own little hand

In the eyes of the sleepy children

Go to sleep my children

Close your sleepy eyes

The lady moon is _______

Throughout the ________ skies

The little stars are peeking

To see if you are sleeping

Go to sleep my children,

Go to sleep, Good night!
