Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
While the Moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream

La la lu
La la lu
Oh, my little star sweeper
I'll sweep the stardust for you
La la lu
La la lu
Little soft, fluffy sleeper
Here comes a pink cloud for you
La la lu
La la lu
Little wandering angel
Fold up your wings
Close your eyes
La la lu
La la lu
And may love be your keeper
La la lu
La la lu
La la lu

Be brave, little one
Make a wish for each sad little tear
Hold your head up though no one is near
Someone's waiting for you

Don't cry, little one
There'll be a smile where a frown used to be
You'll be part of a love that you see
Someone's waiting for you

Always keep a little pray'are in your pocket
And you're sure to see the light
Soon, there'll be joy and happiness
And your little world will be bright
Have faith, little one
till your hopes and your wishes come true
You must try to be brave, little one
Someone's waiting to love you

Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always

La la lu
La la lu
Oh, my little star sweeper
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
