30 Baby Song Lyrics for Their Bedtime or Playtime

Whether you are playing with a child or putting them to bed, this list of baby song lyrics will be useful.

It’s the end of the day and your little one is supposed to fall asleep. The point is, even at bed time, children can never get enough of attention. The best solution for those crucial extra moments your child needs with you is that you sing them a soothing rhyme. But can you really remember all those baby song lyrics?

This collection of words will come in handy whether you want to sing a cute song for babies or go straight for the lullaby that will official end your parental duties for the day.

Tip: If you prefer to play the song’s music as you sing, every song has a link to both the lyrics and a karaoke video underneath. Just lower your device’s brightness, its volume, and, remember, screens wake us up, so do not show them the videos at that time.

That saved a wretch like me!

And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby, oh

Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that’s where
You’ll find me, oh

Somewhere over the rainbow

And the dream that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can’t I? I

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that’s where you’ll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to
Why, oh why can’t I? I

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

2. I’ll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another,
You’ll regret it all one day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

All Through the Night

Lyrics:

1. Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my loving vigil keeping
All through the night

2. While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world is sleeping
All through the night
O’er thy spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night

3. Though I roam a minstrel lonely
All through the night
My true harp shall praise sing only
All through the night
Love’s young dream, alas, is over
Yet my strains of love shall hover
Near the presence of my lover
All through the night

4. Hark, a solemn bell is ringing
Clear through the night
Thou, my love, art heavenward winging
Home through the night
Earthly dust from off thee shaken
Soul immortal shalt thou awaken
With thy last dim journey taken
Home through the night
