Thread Name: Versions: Sleep Little Prince
Subject: RE: Help: Sleep Little Prince
I heard Mozart's dad wrote the melody. This is the version I grew up with in Ireland.
Sleep little prince and lie still folded the sheep on the hill silent the hum of the bees birds are at rest in the trees quiet and peaceful the room slowly the big silver moon rises and peeps o'er the sill sleep little prince and lie still lie still, lie still (very slowly)
not even a mouse is a stir cupboard and cellar are bare calm lies o'er palace and park never a sound in the dark save for the maiden who cries wakes from her slumber and sighs dreaming as fond lovers will sleep little prince and lie still lie atill....lie still
None is so happy as thou free as a bird on the bough plenty of nice things to eat fine golden shoes for thy feet carriage and horses to ride footmen to run by thy side all will be thine if thou wilt sleep little prince and lie still, lie still lie still
