D           A7sus4   F#M       Asus4
Nail and stone it was my life 

         G         A7sus4        D
And dreams were always grown. 

D        Asus4      F#m        Bm
I'd build lovers   into wives 

G                 Em         A  
And dreams into fine homes. 

Bm          F#m       Bm         F#m          
As simple as it seemed to me,

 Bm           A                  D
You would not see me smiling, 

G        F#m          Bm           A
And I would cry to watch you try 

G       D/F#        Em     A
To live your life to die. 

D              A7sus4  
So hush a bye

F#m          A7sus4
Don't you cry 

D       A7sus4    G D/F# Em A7sus4
Go to sleep my love; 

D            A7sus4
Dry your eyes

F#m          A7sus4
And dream of 

G D/F# Em A7sus4 D
You're the one I love. 







I did pray to be like you 


To be part of your life, 


But you were lost to richer lands 


Your friends to foot the price. 


And somewhere I just saw clearly 


What you were thinking of 


The diff'rence 'tween us must have been 


That someone gave me love. 


So hush a bye 


Don't you cry 


Go to sleep my love; 


Dry your eyes 


And dream of 


You're the one I love.
