Goodnight, moon, up in the sky,
Goodnight, stars, way up high.
Goodnight, world, both near and far,
Goodnight to every twinkling star.
Time for bed, the day is done,
Time to rest after the fun.
Snuggle deep beneath the sheet,
Tomorrow brings a new day sweet.
Popular Rhymes Topics for You.
Good night, sleep tight,
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Wake up bright in morning light,
With dreams of joy and stars so bright.
The sandman's coming with his sack,
Sprinkling dreams from front to back.
Close your eyes and drift away,
Into dreams until the day.
Animal Rhymes
One little sheep jumps over the fence,
Two little sheep, that makes good sense.
Three, four, five, hop on by,
Counting sheep until I sleep.
Hush now, baby, close your eyes,
Underneath the quiet skies.
Mama's near and all is right,
Sleep now, baby, through the night.
The moon is up, the stars appear,
It's time for sleep, the night is here.
Pull the blanket soft and deep,
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
There were ten in the bed
And the little one said,
Roll over, roll over!
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.
There were nine in the bed
And the little one said,
Roll over, roll over!
Lullaby Rhymes
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.
Hush you bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleep, little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
Lullaby, and good night,
With roses bedight,
With lilies o'er spread,
Is baby's wee bed.
Lay thee down now and rest,
May thy slumber be blessed.
Sleep, baby, sleep,
Your father guards the sheep.
Your mother shakes the dreamland tree,
And from it fall sweet dreams for thee.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh.
Shadows of the evening,
Steal across the sky.
