Creativefilter: Add verses to my lullaby
October 24, 2018 7:05 AM Subscribe
I sing a little made up song to my child and need additional verses from the hivemind.
Please add your own and make me not repeat the same exact thing over until the end of time. What would you add?
It goes like:
It's okay
To close your eyes
And stop those cries
And all those whines
It's okay
To fall asleep
And dream of sheep
And things to eat
It's okay
To rest your head
And go to bed
Like momma said
Right now I repeat until I go crazy or she falls asleep.

It's okay
To take a nap
It is a snap
Do it asap .... hrm.

To breathe real slow
The glow worms glow
The ponies know

Best answer: It's okay
To start to yawn
And sleep til dawn
My little fawn
It's okay
To get some rest
In your little nest
And feel so blessed [or "And feel your best"]
It's okay
To drift away
And end the day
With dreams of play
It's okay
To settle down
And stop your frown
My little clown
It's okay
To breathe real slow
And feel a glow
My marshmellow
It's okay
To hold your bear
And let your cares
Melt into the air
It's okay
To say goodnight
And turn out the light
And sleep tight

Best answer: It’s okay
To have a snooze
And you can choose
To dream of shoes
It’s okay
To have a rest
You’ll feel your best
I’d be impressed
It’s okay
To sleep all night
Until it’s light
I think you might
It’s okay
To get some Zs
To sound like bees
Asleep in trees

Best answer: It's okay
To breathe real deep
And go to sleep
Without a peep
It's okay
It's all rozy
To feel dozy
When you are cozy
It's okay
With sleepy mommas
And warm pajamas
To skip the drama
It's okay
To snuggle in
And stop struggling
Let your dreams in
It's okay
You'd never guess
But after you rest
You're at your best
It's okay
To be quiet
And just quit
And sleep a bit

Best answer: If you're willing to start verses with something other than "It's okay" that opens up more possibilities. For instance:
Little queen/king
Take off your crown
And go on down
To Sleepy Town
Little kitten
Stop your mews
I've got some news
It's time to snooze
Little puppy
Please don't whine
Everything's fine
Because you're mine
Little bird
No need to cry
Just dream of sky
And start to fly
Little lion
Take a pause
To rest your claws
And mighty jaws
Little fairy
Close your wings
And hear me sing
Of nighttime things
Little dragon
Let your roars
Turn into snores
Then snore some more
Little horse
No need to neigh
Just hit the hay
You know the way
Little sun
You're way too bright
You know it's night
Turn off your light.

Best answer: It's okay

To ghostwrite songs
That make you sleep
It's okay

To make dreams take flight
It's okay

For soothing music

It's okay
To grunt and groan
You are safe
And warm at home
It's okay
To snuggle deep
Momma's here
And you can sleep
It's okay
To let it go
Morning gives
It back you know
It's okay
To suck your thumb
No need for milk
With your full tum.
It's okay
Both now and soon
You're not alone
You hear me croon
It's okay
No cause to fear
Cos it is dark
You're hidden here
It's okay
To rub your nose
If it helps
Your eyes to close
It's okay
To squeak and squawk
For I am list'ning
To you talk

I'll dream of you, you dream of me
I'll love you in the dark of night
I'll love you at the morning light
The stars that shine, the moon that glows
Your little fingers, your little toes
All these things that I can see
Like you are beautiful to me
The sun comes up, the birds will sing
And light will shine on everything
When this lovely night is through
I'll spend a brand new day with you
Dogs and birds and kittens too
Need to sleep, just like you
So close your eyes and say "Goodnight,"
And join me in the morning light.
(I may have gotten the meter wrong by adding too many syllables. Still, I hope this helps. It was fun to do).
