Hush now my darling, don’t fear the night
You’re safe in my arms, snuggled so tight
I will protect you ‘till dawn’s clear light;
I’ll keep you safe while you’re dreaming.

Don’t fear the wind, as it howls and it blows;
Don’t worry over water, while swiftly it flows
And don’t fear the night; how quickly it goes!
I’ll keep you safe while you’re dreaming.

Don’t fear the wolf; he but howls at the moon
And that scratching outside is just a raccoon.
I’ll be here ‘till dawn, yea, even ‘till noon;
I’ll keep you safe while you’re dreaming.

Those distant cries - they’re only night birds;
So calm your fears about the noises you heard.
Hush, go to sleep now, don’t say a word;
I’ll keep you safe while you’re dreaming.

Take comfort, my love, for you’re not alone
I’ll protect you from the evil you’ve known.
Come, snuggle beside me, I’ll quite your moans
I’ll keep you safe while you’re dreaming.

Come to me; I’ll dry all your tears.
I’ll cuddle you close, quiet your fears.
No one will hurt you, as long as I’m near;
I’ll keep you safe while you’re dreaming.
