Lyrics

Listen to the song he sings Can't you see his music brings her crystal sleep? As her heavy eyelids fall He's taking her to where the dolls rule the world And in that land of make believe is where he'll leave her sleeping Softly warm in a crystal lullaby He's weaving her a paper castle Where dancing clowns with tassles made of fur Welcome her into their world That lives inside the dreams of every little girl She's guarded by a brave tin soldier sitting on her shoulder Taken there in a crystal lullaby Sometimes when I listen to The velvet song that fills a summer afternoon Something deep within me sighs And wishes for the peaceful skies of long ago That wrapped my cares in silver air and carried them away Leaving me and a crystal lullaby That wrapped my cares in silver air and carried them away Leaving me and a crystal lullaby
