Songs from Princess Eloise - Bitter Kingdom - The Nurse's Song

Always sing a lullaby
That the little one not cry
Why let her know of suffering
Or the pain that life will bring

The little one so pure and true
Smiles at me - what can I do
But wrap her up in cotton wool
So much more than dutiful

But when she calls and when she cries
Her tears fall from mine own eyes
When e'er she bids me quick I go
Because I love her so

And always sing a lullaby
That my darling girl not cry
Let her not know of suffering
Nor the pain that life will bring
