My mother-in-law sings this lullaby to my daughter that her mother sang to her. I would like to find out more about it, ie who wrote it, what year and the original words. I love it and would like to pass it on.

Go to sleep my (she puts in my daughters' name), close your little eyes
the man in the moon is watching, over the silent skies
The little birds are peeking, to see if you are sleeping
Go to sleep my (my daughters name), close your eyes

Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to A2K catwoman29.

This might be it.

HERE COMES THE SANDMAN
Words and Music By: Lucine Finch
Copyright 1899, by Lucine Finch

Here comes the Sandman stepping so lightly,
Stealing along on the tips of his toes;
And he scatters the sand
With his own little hand,
In the eyes of the sleepy children.

Oh! Hear the sandman singing so softly,
Singing the children to sleep ev'rywhere;
See how drowsy they grow
Tired heads drooping low,
And hear the Sandman singing.

Go to sleep, my children.
Close your sleepy eyes,
The lady moon will watch you
From out the dark'ning skies;
The little stars are peeping,
To see if you are sleeping;
Go to sleep, my children,
Go to sleep. Good night.

Very Happy thank you so much. My Grandmother used to sing this lullaby to me and my mother sings it to my daughter and we have always wondered where it had come from
