Mountain Lullaby

When the moon peeks through the apple tree

And the stars hide in the leaves

When the mist rolls down the valley

On kitten feet

When the sun is slowly swept away

From the lavender sky

Then the mountains fill the night

With a sweet lullaby

When the air is full of lilac blooms

Like the water in the stream

And the blackbirds on the branches

Begin to dream

When the angels pour the milky way

From the Heavens on high

Then the mountains fill the night

With a sweet lullaby

Moonlight, starlight

Soft as snow

In the meadow

Fireflies glow

When the morning is a mile away

Down the hill and 'cross the creek

With the owls and whippoorwills

Playing hide-and-seek

When you're cozy underneath your quilts

And you're closing your eyes

When your dreams are taking flight

Till the early morning light

Then the mountains fill the night

With a sweet lullaby

Then the mountains fill the night

With a sweet lullaby
