[Verse] In the whisper of the willows A tale softly calls Where the stars above twinkle Through the pine needle walls A brook hums a tune In the night's tender grace As the moon's silver glow lights the deer in its place [Verse 2] The fireflies dance in a warm evening breeze And the old owl hoots From the sycamore trees The meadow lies quiet The crickets keep time In this forest of dreams With its own gentle rhyme [Chorus] And the night sings a song To the hearts pure and small Where the wonder of dreams paints the trees strong and tall Close your eyes Little one Let the woodland light spin Where the stories of old In the soft night begin [Verse 3] Through the whispering pines A soft hum you'll find As you journey in slumber With care left behind The fairies paint colors on each leafy strand In a world made of wonder By their tiny hands [Verse 4] The night breeze will cradle your thoughts in its wing Blowing dreams of tomorrow Where hope blooms in spring And the wise old fox in his den tells a tale Of a brave little heart in a world lush and pale [Chorus] And the night sings a song To the hearts pure and small Where the wonder of dreams paints the trees strong and tall Close your eyes Little one Let the woodland light spin Where the stories of old In the soft night begin
