Drift into a world of dreams with our collection of bedtime songs for kids, perfect for soothing and comforting little ones as they prepare for sleep.
Singing songs to kids at bedtime is a cherished ritual that offers more than just a pathway to sleep; it fosters emotional bonding and provides a sense of security and comfort to young ones. The gentle rhythm and melodies of lullabies can help calm a child’s mind, making it easier for them to transition into sleep.
Singing songs also aids in developing their linguistic and auditory skills as they become familiar with the sounds and patterns of language through music. Ultimately, bedtime songs create a nurturing environment that enriches the child’s emotional well-being and cultivates lasting memories of warmth and closeness.
Bedtime songs for Kids
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark,
Thank you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky, you keep,
And often thro’ my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eyes,
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveler in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Itsy-Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider
went up the water spout.
Down came the rain,
and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun,
and dried up all the rain.
So, the itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again.
The itsy bitsy spider
went up the water spout.
Down came the rain,
and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun,
and dried up all the rain.
So, the itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again.
The itsy bitsy spider
went up the water spout.
Down came the rain,
and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun,
and dried up all the rain.
So, the itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again.
I’m a Little Teapot
I’m a little teapot
Short and stout.
Here is my handle,
Here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout:
Tip me over
And pour me out!
I’m a very special pot
This is true.
Here’s an example
Of what I can do.
I can change my handle
And my spout.
Tip me over
And pour me out!
When You Wish Upon a Star
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Rock-a-Bye, Baby
Rock a bye baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
Rock a bye baby, gently you swing,
Over the cradle, Mother will sing,
Sweet is the lullaby over your nest
That tenderly sings my baby to rest.
From the high rooftops, down to the sea
No one’s as dear as baby to me
Wee little hands, eyes shiny and bright
Now sound asleep until morning light
Rock a bye baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
Little Boy Blue
Time comes down
You got to take it on yourself
You got to give up your past
You got to give up what came last
World goes round
You got to leave it all behind
You got defeated at last
Little boy blue
With the feelin’ in your soul and the gypsy in your eyes
Little boy blue
You got to leave this song behind as it passes by
Yeah, yeah
Life goes on
You got to catch it if you can
You must believe it will last
You can’t remember what went past
Tide comes in
This fog will surely roll away
It can’t leave, it will stay
Little boy blue
Tootin’ on your coke and takin’ a toke
In a lazy haze
Little boy blue
Got to leave this song behind as it passes by
Tide comes in
This boat will surely row away
It can’t leave if we stay
Little boy blue
Tootin’ on your coke and takin’ a toke
In a lazy haze
Little boy blue
Got to leave this song behind as it passes by
Hush Little Baby
Hush, little baby don’t you
Hush, little baby don’t say a word
Papa’s gonna buy you a mocking bird
And if that mocking bird don’t sing
Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring is brass
Papa’s gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke
Papa’s gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat don’t pull
Papa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over
Papa’s gonna buy you a dog called Rover
And if that dog called Rover don’t bark
Papa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart turn round
You’ll still be the sweetest little babe in town (be the sweetest litte babe)
Still be the sweetest little babe in town
La, la, la, la, la, la
Hush, little baby don’t you cry…
Good Night Sleep Tight
As I lay on my pillow
And close my eyes
I think about the things
I wish to say good night
Brahms’ Wiegelied
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
‘Round your head
Flowers gay
Set you slumbers ’til day
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
‘Round your head
Flowers gay
Set you slumbers ’til day
Close your eyes
Now and rest
May these hours
Be blessed
Close your eyes
Now and rest
May these hours
Be blessed
Bonne nuit cher enfant
Dans tes langes blancs
Repose joyeux
En rêvant des cieux
Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te réveilleras
Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te réveilleras
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
‘Round your head
Flowers gay
Set you slumbers ’til day

You Are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You’ll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don’t take
My sunshine away
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You’ll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don’t take
My sunshine away
All Through the Night
Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee,
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my loved ones’ watch am keeping,
All through the night.
Nap Time Song
Let’s all count sheep
Count one, two, three
Until we sleep
Let’s all count sheep
Could we keep playing
Miss Appleberry
Could we keep playing
Please, please
You’ll play your best
If you have some rest
You’ll play your best
If you have some rest
Let’s all count sheep
Count one, two, three
Until we sleep
Let’s all count sheep
I’m scared of the dark
Miss Appleberry
I’m scared of the dark
Please, please
See our light shine
You’ll be just fine
See our light shine
You will be just fine
Let’s all count sheep
Count one, two, three
Until we sleep
Let’s all count sheep
I’m all by myself
Miss Appleberry
I’m all by myself
Please, please
No need to fear
With your teddy here
No need to fear
With your teddy here
Let’s all count sheep
Count one, two, three
Until we sleep
Let’s all count sheep
In dreams, you can fly
Through a starry sky
When nap time is done
We will have more fun
Let’s all count sheep
Count one, two, three
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Baby Mine
Baby mine, don’t you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don’t you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They’d end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they’d give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You’re not much, goodness knows
But you’re so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine
A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
