Analysis of The happy lullaby



Toy after toy you give to me
As you play in the garden so happily
Flowers are fun and I'm pleased to see
That God brought you to dear old me
And I listen to the bells on the church near by
And the angels listen out when you cry
But I dry your tears and sing lullabies
So play again every brand new sky
As the sun reaches out its brightest lines
And yer smile is softened the more you try
As the big wide world might be saying hi!
