Recordings:
Sun is sinking in Hawaii
Little birds are in their nests
I hear a sweet Hawaiian mother crooning
Pretty baby off to rest
Can't you hear the sandman coming
Oh, baby close your eyes of blue
Can't you hear your mammy humming
Just a little song for you
The gentle shadows falling
Nightbirds calling my darling babe to slumberland
Hear that dreamy melody
Merry voices mingled in a harmony
Pretty stars above you watch and love you
Summer breezes softly sigh
That lovin'..hmmmmmmm
Now my pretty baby close your eyes
Those ukuleles ringing
Mother sings that sweet Hawaiian lullaby
Shadows falling in Hawaii
Moon is creeping o'er the hill
And all the silv'ry stars are shyly winking
Slumberland is soft and still
Baby's eyes are gently blinking
While mother hugs her to her breast
Like the gentle breezes sighing
Humming tunes she loves the best
The gentle shadows falling
Nightbirds calling my darling babe to slumberland
Hear that dreamy melody
Merry voices mingled in a harmony
Pretty stars above you watch and love you
Summer breezes softly sigh
That lovin'..hmmmmmmm
Now my pretty baby close your eyes
Those ukuleles ringing
Mother sings that sweet Hawaiian lullaby
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for the lyrics to this song.
