GUEST,kjb Lyr Req: Sing Me To Sleep / Sing Mir Dein Lied (37) RE: Lyr Req: Sing Me To Sleep 26 Mar 09

My dear aunt had an unusually beautiful high soprano voice and sang this at her husbands funeral when she was in her early 90s. I fell in love with it then and got a copy from the Boston Music Co. via Schirmer, Inc in NY.

What I'd like to know is the story behind the song. Was it written by the composer for a particular occasion, event, or as part of a "light opera" ? I have learned it and want to perform it, but like sharing something about a song before I sing it to give it some context.

Anybody know?
