MOTHER NATURE’S LULLABY by S. Van Zandt Croak, croak, croaking Frogs are float, float, floating In the pond they’re croaking a tune Glow, glow, glowing Stars are show, show, showing Above the pond they’re glowing with the moon Chorus: I lay down, my bed on the ground My ceiling is the sky I fall asleep to a voice so sweet Mother nature’s lullaby Howl, howl, howling In the wind I hear it sounding Coyote’s lonesome wailing call Whirl, whirl, whirling In the trees the breeze is swirling As the leaves let go and gently fall Chorus….. Crickets chirping while the creek goes blurping As the owl wings softly in its flight When the sun sinks low I will always go Into the harmony of night Chorus….. ©2004 Slug Music (BMI) All rights reserved.

WINGS OF SLUMBER by S. Van Zandt Chorus: A dream is a story a dream is a song Ride along on this journey of wonder Flying through the night into the breaking of the dawn As we spread these wings of slumber Rocking in our boat it’s a lazy breeze while the dolphins jump and play Look across the sea to the coconut trees swaying in an emerald bay Rainbow fish on the green coral reef flap their fins and point the way As we sail through the waves and land upon the shore, here in the isle of Day Chorus…. On the soft warm sand our bare feet run down the dunes we jump and slide With a whistle and a shout our ponies come to take us for a ride We race with the wind across the beach while the sea birds rise and glide Golden sand and a golden mane in the white spray ocean tide Chorus…. Now a treasure chest buried on the beach holds a magic pearl Sleep is the key to unlock that box and let your dreams unfurl Sing to the moon and dance with a star, with the wind we sway and swirl In the moment of a breath and a blink of the eye we can travel ‘round the world Chorus….

UP THEY GET TO MY SUNSET by S. Van Zandt Chorus: The sun goes down, down, down, down Because the earth goes round, round , round Folks like me across the sea Up they get to my sunset I close my eyes to their sunrise Chorus…… Across the sea, folks like me Their day begins when my day ends Day has begun when my day’s done Chorus…… Across the seas people like me Their rooster crows when my sun sinks low Their dawn breaks with my night’s embrace Chorus…… People everywhere we all share This warm sunlight the starlight night These golden beams and our sweet dreams Chorus…… You and me together we Take our rest in hopefulness New day will come to everyone Chorus…… Tag; Sun on the ocean sinks low then it is gone Nighttime comes softly with darkness and sweet song Sleep is the palette to paint our dreams on Hope is a promise for the new light of dawn We are children of the night We are children of the sun We are blessed with the gift of light In this we are as one We are children of the sun We are children of the night In sleep we peacefully are one We pray for the new days light Sun comes up sun goes down Moon comes up big and round Nighttime comes a lullaby Sleep, sleep close your eyes Dream, dream, close your eyes Dream, sleep lullaby

RETURN TO ME IN THE MORNING by S. Van Zandt A snow white bird will soar down low With moonlight feathers glowing And lift you up where, ‘ere you may go And return to me in the morning You may travel to a land that is very near Where the corn is green and growing Where song and laughter fill the air And return to me in the morning You may travel to a land that is very far Where the night is brightly showing And stop to play on a distant star And return to me in the morning Wherever you may go wherever you may roam One thing you should be knowing I’ll be here when you come home And return to me in the morning

Sometimes When you go to bed at night Do you lay there and stare because Things don’t seem right? You stare at the ceiling You stare at the door Your eyes won’t stay closed So you stare some more Your pillow is lumpy There’s sand in your sheets Your blankets don’t cover your two bare feet Too hot, too cold Too cool, too warm You toss and turn wiggle and squirm Barking dogs Croaking frogs Moons too bright There’s too much light So there you lie You lie and think Mouth’s too dry You need a drink You try counting sheep But you just can’t sleep Now when I’m in this situation For me the key is imagination It’s a trick That never fails I go down to the sea and I swim with whales Whales, all kinds of whales I swim with whales Humpback, Finback, Orca and grey Narwal, Bowhead, Beaked, Minke, Sei Sperm Whale, Dolphin, the little porpoise too The Right Whale and Pilot, the White and the Blue These are the whales that swim with me They move along so gracefully These are the whales that swim with me Whales of beauty in the big blue sea Spouts go up as we plunge down Through the foam We roam This ocean home We feel the rush Of water at our sides A bubbly whoosh A kick a glide A ride so smooth and dream like It seems like Another world down there, where The giant kelp sways and otters play Way down below Where the lantern fish glow We float so still So quiet in that liquid night Below the reach of the sun’s warm light Then back up we stream Back toward the lights splintered beams Through the ceiling of water we burst and fly Exploding upward into sky We pound back down to end our flight Plumes of spray turn blue to white All is still now and so are we Except for the breeze that gently blows It tickles and ripples the surface of the sea Where bouncing sun flakes shimmer and glow We rest we roll To our sides And rise Up and down In the ocean tide Oh what a journey Oh what a tale When I go down to the sea and I swim with whales Whales, all kinds of whales I swim with whales Humpback, Finback, Orca and grey Narwal, Bowhead, Beaked, Minke, Sei Sperm Whale, Dolphin, the little porpoise too The Right Whale and Pilot, the White and the Blue These are the whales that swim with me They move along so gracefully These are the whales that swim with me Whales of beauty in the big blue sea

The fawn in the meadow like to play all day But when the sun goes down they hear their mother say Go and get your rest until the day breaks new Now the fawn are fast asleep so why aren’t you Into the night little rabbits stay awake But even they go to sleep when the hour is late They cuddle all together until the day breaks new Now the rabbits in the grass And the fawn are fast asleep, so why aren’t you The squirrels jump and play in the old oak tree But when the sun goes down they curl up in the leaves All is still until the day breaks new Now the squirrels are in the branches And the rabbits in the grass And the fawn are fast asleep, so why aren’t you The crow above my garden teases me all day Swoops down on my corn and I shoo him away But when the sun goes down until the day breaks new The crow rests in his nest And the squirrels are in the branches And the rabbits in the grass And the fawn are fast asleep, so why aren’t you You’ve had warm milk and I’m singing you this song But I’ll be asleep before very long Close you eyes and dream your dreams until the day breaks new Now I’m sleeping by your side As crow rests in his nest And the squirrels are in the branches And the rabbits in the grass And the fawn are fast asleep, so why aren’t you

Down in the mud I wiggle my toes In every flower I sink my nose Round and round this world goes I'm singing to the moon I hop the creek from rock to rock I hug a tree and hear it talk I take a bug out for a walk I'm singing to the moon Chorus: Go out in the rain and listen to the thunder Lie down in the grass and watch the clouds roll by Reach up to the stars and set your mind to wonder Of all there is to do in life and all there is to try and soon You'll be singing to the moon I crawl along on the forest floor I take a peek in mole's front door I eat from snail's grocery store I'm singing to the moon I take a swim with my froggy pals I hoot a song with an old barn owl Coyote and I you can hear us howl We're singing to the moon Chorus... Down where the ocean touches land I like to roll in the warm white sand Hey! mister crab let me shake your hand I'm singing to the moon Come explore this world with me There's so much to do so much to see Jump right in and soon you'll be Singing to the moon Chorus...

The gentle rain creeps softly by While baby birds nest warm and dry We’re flowers closed awaiting light In the lullaby of a cool spring night The long day’s heat lingers still While the meadow wakes with hum and trill Our cool sheets are loose and light In the lullaby of a summer night Wind against the reaching trees Sets free a dance of golden leaves Sleep glides down like an owl’s soft flight In the lullaby of an autumn night Footsteps crunching in the snow The barn door squeaks, the fire glows Grandma’s quilt holds me warm and tight In the lullaby of a winter night There’s a song outside in the dark night air The song inside is the love we share While safely in our beds we lie Wrapped in the season’s lullaby

We watch the sunrise on the hill While color streaks the dawn Our hearts rejoice this land of grace Oh, beauty, carry on Blue sky wings have taken flight They’ve given me a song We soar from darkness into light Oh beauty carry on So kiss the beauty of this earth Where ‘er we walk along With each new day there is rebirth Oh beauty carry on We watch the sunrise on the hill While color streaks the dawn Our hearts rejoice this land of grace Oh beauty carry on

This little island is my cradle bed On the white warm sand I lay my head My lullaby is the inging breeze And the rocking, rocking rhythm Of the blue, blue sea Keia li’I moku moe pai pai Pumehana one moe ku’u po’o Ku’u mele ia pa makani Pai pai mele o ka lip lipo kai

We were laughing in the new sun We were sailing on the sea We were dancing in the west wind Now the world is ready for your dreams We were walking on the mountaintop Hand in hand just you and me You rode back down on my shoulders Now the world is ready for your dreams We were running in the tall grass You fell down and scraped your knee I picked you up and gave a tickle Now the world is ready for your dreams So lay your head now on the pillow Hear the night bird gently sing As the sunlight turns to fire Now the world is ready for your dreams

I'd like to be a great blue whale I'd swim across the sea I'd play and sway in ocean rhythm That's what I could be Chorus; That's what I could be, oh, that's what I could be That's what I could be, oh, that's what I could be I'd like to be a golden eagle Flying high and free I'd view the world from up above That's what I could be.......Chorus I'd like to be a humble farmer And start life from a seed I'd grow to know a harvest bounty That's what I could be.......Chorus I'd like to be a land of plenty Like this world I see Shared and cared by hands of many That's what I could be......Chorus I'm glad I am just who I am With a song to sing Everything is part of me And I'm part of everything I'm part of everything, oh, I'm part of everything I'm part of everything, oh, I'm part of everything (repeat 1st verse)

Hear the river rolling Hear the waterfall The bullfrog is a croaking The owl hoots hear call Coyote is a howling While silent wings they fly All in the music Of the camper’s lullaby Chorus: This little tent this cozy bag Upon the ground we lie Cradled in the music Of the camper’s lullaby Up the pass we walk along Like an old coon makin tracks We cross the streams on logs and rocks With our home upon our backs We come to this woody knoll Where the trees they touch the sky Silently we listen To the camper’s lullaby…….Chorus Wherever we may wander Wherever we may roam These rivers rocks and ridges These valleys are our homes And home is when the ones you love Are lying by your side Looking up into a starry night With the camper’s lullaby………Chorus

*Hear the ocean whisper As your eyes do close Sleep will come and take you To the place where dreams can grow *See the mountains rising As your eyes do close Sleep will come and take you To the place where dreams can grow Chorus: Oh baby oh, oh baby oh Sleep my baby oh *Hear the night bird calling As your eyes do close Sleep will come and take you To the place where dreams can grow *Feel the arms that hold you As your eyes do close Sleep will come and take you To the place where dreams can grow
