Sing Me a Nursery Rhyme

(Billy Ed Wheeler - Alex Harvey)



(Twinkle, twinkle, little star)

How I wonder where you are.



It seems like only yesterday

Our little girl was playing

With windup toys and little boys

Dolls and color crayons.



Then at night she'd come to me

All sleepy eyed and saying

Daddy will you sing to me

When I get through praying?



Sing me a nursery rhyme

While I count the little sheep

Sing me a nursery rhyme

So I can go to sleep.



She was our pride and joy

A rainbow just beginning

We loved her so we couldn't see

Our love was nearly ending.



Day by day we tried to say

The love we knew she needed

I can't forget the night I left

She came to me and pleaded.



Sing me a nursery rhyme

While I count the little sheep

Sing me a nursery rhyme

So I can go to sleep.



(Twinkle, twinkle, little star)

How I wonder where you are...
