Hush my babies
don’t say a word
Mommy’s coming
no matter what you’ve heard
Take care of each other
while I’m gone
Just keep repeating
this simple song
I love each of you
with all my heart
Try to stay strong
while we’re apart
Be your best
in every way
And so you know
I think of you every day
So hold steadfast
by the light of the moon
Mommy’s coming for you
really, really soon
