When I was just a baby my mom used to sing a lullaby that I loved and I've been meaning to look up the lyrics because I can only sing the chorus and hum the rest. So i finally looked it up tonight. The song is from the musical My Turn on Earth and is named Angel Lullaby. So if for some crazy coincidence you need these lyrics too here they are :)
You came from a land where all is light
to a world half day and a world half night.
To guide you by day, you have my love,
To guard you by night, your friends above.
(Chorus)
So sleep, sleep, till the darkness ends,
guarded by your angel friends.
So sleep, sleep, till the darkness ends,
guarded by your angel friends.
There's one stands softly by your bed
and another sits close with a hand on your head.
There's one at the window watching for the dawn,
and one waits to wake you when the night is gone.

that's a cute song, and a good memory. you are such a good mom to mkayla. keep up the good work huh!!
Hi, I'm a random blogger who stumbled across your site.
I love this song, and my other favorite from My Turn on Earth is "I'm the one who write my own story. I decide the person I'll be. What does in the plot, and what does not, is pretty much up to me." It goes on about when we make mistakes, need to erase, that it was figured out before, this thing called repentence, can wipe out a sentence, a page or a chapter or more. Aaah, precious words, as are the lullaby words. Thanks for posting this.
I have been looking for that song forever! thank you so much! my mom sang to me too! and i only knew the chorus. you are amazing.
you don't know me either, but I have been trying to find those lyrics also. Thank you thank you. My mom also sang it to me and I have been singing it to my daughter, with lots of holes. Thanks again.
Thank you for posting these lyrics. My family sings this at our family reunion but I could never remember all the lyrics..so thanks a lot. I dont know why but you look so familiar to me. I am from Orem/Provo area. My name is Michael King. Hope you have a good day!
Thank you so much! I have been looking everywhere for these lyrics! My Dad sang this to me when I was little and I was pretty sure I knew the lyrics, but I couldn't remember them all. Thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you so much!! I am expecting my first and was trying to remember the sone my sister use to sing to me when I was scared at night. I am so glad i found the lyrics, I could only remember the tune and that there was an angel by the window watching.
And by some strange coincidence.. I was looking for the lyrics to the same song that my husband hums to my baby, but we couldn't remember the words either. Thanks so much! It's such a sweet song.
Hi! My dad would sing this to me and my brothers and sisters when we were young as well. If you want to see a nice rendition of it, I found one on youtube. Here's the link:

Thank you for posting these lyrics. I have been looking for them recently cuz I too forgot the words to the second verse. Now I can sing the entire song to my grandsons.
I have been looking for this song, I love it and wanted to sing it to my son, but couldn't remember all the lyrics. Thanks for posting!
I was falling asleep this evening and started to sing this song. I used to sing it to my two sons, who are now 26 & 29 ys old. I was a bit rusty in remembering all the verses in order. So I got out of bed and here I am. :) Thank you so much for helping me because you posted the song.
Sweet dreams to you Zjani!
Zjani,
Wow! I am writing a letter to Bridger to take with him into the service, and couldn't remember a line from this song that I used to sing to him. I googled it and couldn't believe my eyes when your blog popped up!!! What a miracle of modern day technology. I love you are your sweet little family. Love Aunt Becky
I sang this to my baby who died six weeks ago of SIDS. He was six months old. I am putting these words on the top of his urn, because they describe how I feel and that I know I will see him again.
Thank you for putting up these lyrics. I wanted to find them to make sure that I had remembered them correctly.
If you want to see a picture of him look me up on facebook under Heather Lynn Briggs Nelson.
oh my goodness, I love reading everyones comments! so glad I could help. @ Aunt Becky its such a small world! and Heather Briggs I'm so sorry for your loss, this is a beautiful song for you to have on your babies urn, you will most definately be with your baby again someday.
My Mom used to sing this to me and my sisters at bedtime. When I found it here again I sang it to myself and just remembered. Thanks.
I remember watching the play that this song comes from when I was little. Now that I'm pregnant I've been wanting to sing thing song to my little girl, but I could only remember the chorus. Thank you!!
I couldn't remember the second verse!! Thank you for posting this! It's such a special sweet song :)
I have a daughter that is not active in church. Yet, she sings this song to her four children each night. They also want to have her sing I am a Child of God and I Love to see the temple. When they come to spend the night we cannot go to sleep until we have sung all three songs. I saw My Turn on Earth in Spokane, Washington many years ago. It remains one of my favorite musicals. Thank you.
Haha so funny I came across your blog searching for the angel lullaby lyrics. Thanks for posting this!
