Hush Now Missy Higgins

[Verse 1]
Hush now, my little baby
Time to sleep
Time to forget everything
Hush now, my little baby
Time to sleep, it's the safest place to be

[Chorus]
And may the years carry you gently
May the wonder never leave your heart
May the colours of the darkness not scare you
And may the sound of my voice always hold you
Long after I can't
Long after I can't

[Verse 2]
Wake now, my little darling
Time to see
Time to begin everything
Up now, my little darling
Time to see all the things this world can be

[Chorus]
But how I hope some things stay hidden
Until your sweet heart has strength to see
For below all these soft clouds there's darkness
And a poison that looks oh so sweet
Oh, stay close to me
Won't you always stay this close to me
