Too late for your show, but MY mother sang this when rocking us: Backward, turn backward O time in thy flight Make me a child again, just for tonight; Mother come back from the echoless shore- Take me again to your heart as of yore. Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair; Over my slumbers your loving watch keep- Rock me to sleep, Mother, rock me to sleep. Two more verses that I know; a very sentimental song- and it always put me right to sleep! Jean
