Janis Ian - Lover's Lullaby Lyrics
Lay down now in slumber
Mama's boy is torn assunder
All the fields have gone grey
All the leaves are gone brown
Lay down, I know your weary
While the star's are in the sky
While the moons on the rise
Lay down and don't you wake 'til mornin'
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullabye
There once was a magician
Well, he brought to the table
All the fool's gold and wine
And he promised us three favors
Said he was a saviour
But we drank all his glory
And we borrowed all his time
Lay down and don't you wake 'til mornin'
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullabye, my love
Sleep tight, my love
Softly fade away
The moon was made of old green cheese
To keep the night away
Softly now, close your eyes
Lightly will fade
The moon was made for wakefull boys
To keep the night away
Lay down, and don't wake 'til mornin'
Close your eyes all through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lullabye
Lay Down, and don't wake 'til mornin'
Close your eyes all through the night
Lay down in all your glory
This is a lullabye
This is a lullabye

Janis Ian Lover's Lullaby Comments
I assume there is a special song for everyone. A song that has a deep personal meaning that others may not recognize. I loved this song and 48 years later I am still loving this song. It will always be special to me. Thank you, Janis Ian for all you have created and given to us. Beautiful.
I'm a guy, and I learned to sing and play this song while in the Army at White Sands Missile Range in 1974. She has many songs that pertain equally to either sex. Genius. "Love is Blind" comes immediately to mind.
This is me giving up on my search for love while living with my husband for 30 years. But my love is still within my heart just unclaimed.
first heard this album in the late 70's when i was 18 or so, still has the same impact on me
So beautiful. This woman is incredible. This is my inheritance song.
Played this at my mum’s funeral today.
Beautiful.
Perfect.
Miss you forever and a day, Mama Bear 😔😔💜💜💜
Love to you
I love her music, calm, sad and from before my time but somehow encouraging, relatable, recent, and uplifting at the same time,
