Verse 1)

Verse 1) Close your eyes, my little light, Birthday stars are shining bright. Five years brave, five years strong, You’ve been teaching me all along. You spin so softly through the air, Hands that flap without a care. In every movement, wild and free, There’s a kind of poetry. (Chorus) Sleep, my Eddie, peaceful and proud, You don’t have to be like the crowd. In your own time, in your own way, You bloom more brightly every day. Oh my heart, my shining star, Perfect, precious as you are. (Verse 2) When the world feels big and loud, You stand gentle, brave, and proud. You never quit, you always try, With steady strength that makes me cry. You’ve shown me how to slow my pace, To find the beauty in each space. To see the world differently, And love it more because of thee. (Bridge – very soft) Rock-a-bye, my fearless one, My moon at night, my morning sun. However you grow, wherever you roam, My arms, my love, will be your home. (Final Chorus – softer) Sleep, my Eddie, dream your dreams, Nothing is as hard as it seems. In your own rhythm, safe and free, You are everything to me. Five years bright, five years strong, My sweet boy… you belong.
