Karen wrote this song for a little girl who was not fond of naps. We hope you find it soothing.
lyrics
All the babies in the world
Pups and Kittens too
Like to run around and play
They have fun like you
Then snuggled in their mother's arms
Or curled up in a nest
All the babies close their eyes
And take a little rest
They close their eyes, close their eyes
They breathe slow and deep
So close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes and sleep
Fox kits in their meadow den
Lambs out in the fold
Whale calves in the ocean deep
Seal pups in the cold
They dream of the things they learn
Things they still want to do
All those babies yawn and stretch
And cuddle up like you
They close their eyes, close their eyes
They breathe slow and deep
So close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes and sleep
Little camels in the sand
Fold their legs and yawn
In the woods, deep in the grass
Sleeps a speckled fawn
Lion cubs just drop and dream
Of hunting when they wake
Pandas sleep in bamboo groves
Ducklings nap near lakes
They close their eyes, close their eyes
They breathe slow and deep
So close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes and sleep
