Lyrics

Verse:
I was only a child when I first heard that song, with the moon hanging low in the sky
The stars shone as diamonds in the desert that night; the wind was a whispering sigh
Mi Abuelita held me and rocked me to sleep, her voice soft and low in my ear
Her song is a treasure that I'll always keep; to calm and to quiet all fear

Chorus:
Sueño con los angelitos, mi corazon
Que duermas con los angelitos, mi bella flor
La noche parece larga pero estoy aquí
Sueño con los angelitos, mi amor

Verse:
Many years later, near the end of her days, we sat and I held her hand
She smiled and said, "Do not worry dear child, there's so much we do not understand
But sing me that song every chance that you get, and sing to your children, too
With faith and with hope, and you'll never forget, its message of love always true"

Chorus:
Sueño con los angelitos, mi corazon
Que duermas con los angelitos, junto a su calor
La noche parece larga pero estoy aquí
Sueño con los angelitos, mi amor ... mi amor
