Bedtime Lullaby

Bedtime Lullaby is a traditional lullaby from the United States. It was covered by many artists, including Emmi Morton, whose version was heard on Bubble's Beautiful Day as well as BabyTV, and covered Crazy Bus by the tune of the song.

Origin
The song was written by Mark DiNarnio, an African-American songwriter. It was first published in 1897.

1970's singer Bob Kozelek said "Mark DiNarnio was too busy taking care of his children. He sung this to them".

Kozelek's son performed on PBS Kids' educational music show "Zoom", though makes no claim of African-American culture in the song "Argh! Why me a losh, Donkey with a tear drop in his eye, May'ner golden gates. Epa me longie". The theory suggests "May'ner Golden Gates", an another version features "Dream of your eyes being picked out". The verse is different, as "Dream of Autumn Leaves circle as they dance" was suggested as the prototype. The verse was also in older versions of Lola Wilkes' "Miracles Come True", as well as "Sweet Dreams with Mary Moo Cow".

Meaning
The song is from the point of view of a child's dream inspired by something in its room. Usually "Dream of Happy Birthday".

The refrain "Dream of Autumn leaves circle as they dance" has been used in many versions as well as Lola Wilkes song "Miracles Come True" and "Sweet Dreams with Mary Moo Cow".
