It's Time to Sleep, My Love

It's time to sleep, it's time to sleep, the fishes croon in waters deep. The songbirds sing in trees above, "It's time to sleep, my love, my love." As children prepare for bed, the world around them is also settling down for the night. Animals who live in the jungle, the forest, the seaall whisper to their babies a soft refrain: It's time to sleep, my love.

“It’s time to sleep, it’s time to sleep,”
the fishes croon in waters deep.

“It’s time to sleep, my love, my love.”
