Each lullaby in this book­­-CD has been carefully selected and sung
with the intention of allowing you to share intimate moments of quietude and calm with your children; during the day, or at bedtime
when you are ready to release them into the arms of Morpheus.
A word from Isabelle …
I sincerely hope you will enjoy seeing their bright little eyes close
gently as they drift off to sleep with these soothing tunes, while you
softly sing along the melodies which once lulled you to sleep in your
own childhood. It gives me great satisfaction to think that my voice
can be a part of a few of the many precious moments which you will
spend with your little loved ones
With all my heart I wish you beautiful memories and sweet dreams!

Brahms Lullaby
Sleep Baby Sleep
Sleep baby sleep
Thy father guards the sheep
Thy mother shakes the dreamland tree
And from it fall sweet dreams for thee
Sleep baby sleep
Sleep baby sleep
Our cottage vale is deep
The little lamb is on the green
With woolly fleece so soft and clean
Sleep baby sleep
Sleep baby sleep
Thy father watches the sheep
The wind is blowing fierce and wild
It must not wake my little child
Sleep baby sleep
Sleep baby sleep
By the Light of the Moon
Are You Sleeping
Are you sleeping
Are you sleeping
Brother John
Brother John
Morning bells are ringing
Morning bells are ringing
Ding Dang Dong
Ding Dang Dong
(Repeat 5 times)
At the Clear Water Fountain
At the clear water fountain
While I was strolling by
The water looked so cool
So I went to bathe inside
Sing on nightingale sing dear
Your heart is happy and glad
Your heart is filled with laughter
Mine is weary and sad
Chorus
Chorus
My love for you is eternal
Your memory will never die
I lost my dearly beloved
I really don’t know why
When I refused his roses
He turned and said goodbye
Under the leaves of an oak tree
As I was drying myself
Perched on the tallest branch
A nightingale sang by herself
Chorus
Chorus
I wish that those red roses
Were never given to me
And that my little darling
Could finally forgive me
Chorus
All the Pretty Horses
Hush-a-bye don’t you cry
Go to sleep my little baby
When you wake you shall have
All the pretty little ponies
Black and bays dapples and grays
Go to sleep you little baby
Hush-a-bye don’t you cry
Go to sleep my little baby
Hush-a-bye don’t you cry
Go to sleep my little baby
When you wake you shall have
All the pretty little ponies
Daddy’s boy mama’s joy
Go to slumber land my baby
When you wake you shall have
All the pretty little horses
Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
When we’ve been here ten thousand
years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Then when we’ve first begun
’Twas Grace that taught
My heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
It’s Raining It’s Pouring
It’s raining it’s pouring
The old man is snoring
He went to bed
And bumped his head
And couldn’t get up in the morning
It’s raining it’s pouring
The old man is snoring
He went to bed
And bumped his head
And couldn’t get up in the morning
It’s raining it’s pouring
It’s raining it’s pouring
It’s raining it’s pouring
It’s raining it’s pouring
Hush Little Baby
Hush little baby don’t say a word
Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won’t sing
Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass
Papa’s gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke
Papa’s gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won’t pull
Papa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull fall down
You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town
And if that cart and bull fall down
You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town
Golden Slumbers
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty baby do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Cares you know not therefore sleep
While I watch o’er you do not weep
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Let’s Sail the Sea is Beautiful
Good friends row silently
The time to fish seems right
The moonlight rays they shine
To brighten up the night
We must return to shore
Before the break of dawn
So we can rest some more
And waken with the morn
Let’s sail the sea is beautiful
It’s time to get aboard
We’ll row the boat with heart and soul
And let our spirits soar
On to the masts let’s hoist the sail
The sky is clear and bright
The evening star it never fails
To guide the sailor at night
Chorus
The evening star it never fails
To guide the sailor at night
Mozart’s Lullaby
Dear little one go to sleep
Gone are the birds and the sheep
No humming sound of the bees
Or the swift rustling of trees
Gardens and meadows are quiet
Moonbeams let flow their soft light
In through the windows they creep
Dear little one go to sleep
Sleep on … little one
Dear little one go to sleep
I’m near you so please don’t weep
Everything’s calm in the house
No stir or even a mouse
The moon and its silver beams
Glide in to sweeten your dreams
You dear in comfort they’ll keep
Dear little one go to sleep
Sleep on … little one
Dear little one go to sleep
Gone are the birds and the sheep
No humming sound of the bees
Or the swift rustling of trees
Gardens and meadows are quiet
Moonbeams let flow their soft light
In through the windows they creep
Dear little one go to sleep
Sleep on … little one
Sleep on … little one
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Rock a Bye Baby
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
Rock a bye baby in the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
And down will come baby cradle and all
As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveller in the dark
Though I know not what you are
Twinkle twinkle little star
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Rock a bye baby in the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
And down will come baby cradle and all
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
And down will come baby cradle and all
A Lullaby
Sing me a lullaby
Puts me back to sleep ’til morning light
Then I touch down on higher ground
Makes my wheels go round
When I hear the sound
Of your laughter
I hear the sound of your laughter
Hold me until the night
Withers ’way to dawn
A ray of light brings me new eyes
To see the skies
Takes me up to heights
On the wings of a dream I will fly
On the wings of a dream I will fly
Sing me a lullaby
Sing me a lullaby
Sing me a lullaby
Sing me a lullaby
