Distant Melody

Once upon a time and long ago

I heard someone singing soft and low

Now when day is done and night is near

I recall that song I used to hear

My child, my very own

Don't be afraid, you're not alone

Sleep until the dawn

For all is well

Long ago this song was sung to me

Now it's just a distant melody

Somewhere from the past I used to know

Once upon a time and long ago
