when I was a little girl and I could not sleep at night
my mama sang a song to me as she held me tight
she sang ,
go to sleep my little angel don't you worry, don't you weep.
go to sleep my little angel ,mama's gonna rock you while you sleep.
I'll cover you in kisses, and God will watch you from above.
he will send you down his angels, they'll wrap you in his love.

then when I got older and I still had restless nights.
I called mama on the phone ,she said it will be alright
close your eyes my darling, I'll sing a song to you
and I promise you'll be sleeping, long before I'm through.
she sang
go to sleep my little angel don't you worry, don't you weep.
go to sleep my little angel ,mama's gonna rock you while you sleep.
I'll cover you in kisses, God will watch you from above.
he will send you down his angels, they'll wrap you in his love.

now that I am all grown up and mama's gone away.
still when I get restless, I can hear her sweet voice say
go to sleep my little angel don't you worry, don't you weep.
go to sleep my little angel ,mama's gonna rock you while you sleep.
I'll cover you in kisses, and I'll watch you from above.
I'm one of god's angels, I'll wrap you in his love.
yes.... she's one of god's angels... she'll wrap me in his love....
