It's quiet out the moon is sleeping                                        The stars take their place up in the sky Now close your eyes it's time for dreaming As I sing to you this lullaby Goodnight sweet child goodnight You are Gods delight So precious in His sight Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight sweet child goodnight Angels take their flight To watch over you tonight Goodnight, goodnight Dreamland has come and it is peaceful It's where imaginations fly        These safe and loving arms that keep you Will always be by your side
2.
You are so beautiful to me             You are so beautiful to me Can't you see You're everything I've hoped for You're everything I need You are so beautiful to me                       Go to sleep, go to sleep Go to sleep little baby Go to sleep, go to sleep Go to sleep You are so beautiful to me             You are so beautiful to me Can't you see You're everything I've hoped for You're everything I need You are so beautiful to me La La la, la la la la la la, la la la la You are so beautiful to me

Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are When the blazing sun is gone When he nothing shines upon Then you show your little light Twinkle, twinkle, all the night Then the traveller in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark He could not see which way to go If you did not twinkle so Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are In the dark blue sky you keep And often through my curtains peep For you never shut your eye Till the sun is in the sky Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are
4.
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  So let the sun shine in                  Face it with a grin Smilers never loose And frowners never win So let the sun shine in Face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in 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  So let the sun shine in Face it with a grin Smilers never loose And Frowners never win So let the sun shine in Face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

Let's count 1, 2, 3 Close your eyes and see You will have sweet dreams Now, goodnight        As this world is changing The one thing that stays true Is the love I have for  A little heart like you                  4, 5, 6, 7, sheep   Count them as they leap So you fall asleep Now, goodnight As this world is changing     The one thing that stays true Is the love I have for A little heart like you Let's count 8, 9, 10 We are at the end Then we'll start again Now, goodnight As this world is changing The one thing that stays true Is the love I have for A little heart like you Let's count 1, 2, 3 Close your eyes and see

As I watch you sleep tonight I see Gods light What a blessing you are Oh beautiful love of mine I treasure these times You're my shining star Precious love My sweet sunshine Rest your head till morning time Precious love You'll always be The sweetest thing to me These tender moments I adore I love you more Than any words could say Even when you grow with time My little child You will always stay Precious love My sweet sunshine Rest your head till morning time Precious love You'll always be The sweetest thing to me
7.
As I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep May angels watch me through the night And keep me in their blessed sight oh oh oh oh Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep May God guard me through the night And wake me with the morning light oh oh oh oh As I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep And in the morning when I awake Help me God, the path of love to take oh oh oh oh

Hush, little baby, don't say a word Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird And if that mockingbird won't sing Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring And if that diamond ring turns brass Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass And if that looking glass gets broke Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat And if that billy goat won't pull Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull And if that cart and bull fall down You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town Hush, little baby, don't say a word Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird And if that mockingbird won't sing Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring So hush little baby and don't you cry your daddy loves you and so do I

Jesus loves me this I know        For the Bible tells me so                Little ones to Him belong        They are weak, but He is strong                Yes Jesus loves me    Yes Jesus loves me     Yes Jesus loves me  The Bible tells me so             Jesus loves me he who died        Heaven's gates to open wide   He will wash away my sin          Let His little child come in                      Jesus loves me when I'm good        When I do the things I should     Jesus loves me when I'm bad       Even though it makes him sad
10.
Don't you worry, don't you cry    The moon is dancing in the sky The day is done, this day was bliss Now poems, prayers, and promises                  You're so special You're so special to me You're so special You're so special to me la da da From my hands now feel my love My voice brings peace just like a dove These prayers I pray will wrap you tight Now snuggle down as I whisper goodnight You're so special You're so special to me You're so special You're so special to me la da da

about

"A Little Heart Like You", by Martha's Trouble is a genuine folk-song sounding album of children's lullabies.

"Dreamland has come and it is peaceful. It's where imaginations fly." -Goodnight Sweet Child by Martha's Trouble.

Martha's Trouble released their first children's album that not only is soothing for baby, but it's not boring for mom and dad. After touring the country for years and talking to parents all over, Martha's Trouble realized the need for thier music to reach the youngest generation. Being parents themselves they know how important music is for children's developement and it only made sense that they would add this to their catalog. Not only does the album provide audio stimulation, but it has visual stimulation as well from the beautiful artwork that the album includes.

The duo created a very organic, acoustic record, utilizing soothing, calming instruments and repetitive beats (with only hand percussion such as djembe, cajon, kanjira, and frame drum) for a sound that is both feel-good and relaxing. This album contains a total of ten songs, with four originals and some traditional lullabies thrown in, as well, such as “Twinkle Twinkle,” “Hush Little Baby,” and “You Are My Sunshine.” From iPads to iPods, video games and all things electronic, it’s not just adults who are so often receiving such a steady stream of stimuli these days. Kids are, too. Folk duo Martha’s Trouble decided to go unplugged in hopes that children might, as well. At least at bedtime.

"A Little Heart Like You" is simply an expression of parental love and one that every child should hear.
