Goodnight, Child

I know you don't want to go to bed.
You want to know how I know? I know because I know.
So quiet down and rest your head;
There are places you must go.

A thousand adventures await you
If you will only dare to dream.
So close your eyes, beloved child,
You're running out of steam.

While you rest, the world resets;
Tomorrow we start anew.
While you lie here, know I'll be near
Watching over you.

When you think the night is long,
Know we'll find the day.
Slumber now, my dear child,
Tomorrow's not so far away.

As you doze, may dreams find you
And fill you full of fantasy.
And when you wake all rested well,
Where you've been I hope you'll tell me.

So, goodnight, child, catch some z's,
And, while you softly snore,
I'll snooze, too, and dream of you
Then tomorrow we'll play some more.
