Two hearts were happy, two hearts were gay,
Our dream will soon come true
Two hearts were singing all through the day
Life is beginning anew

La da dee, la da dee, that’s my Honey and me
Rehearsing a lullaby
La da dee, la da dee, what a sweet melody
We’re learning to rock-a-bye
As each day is ending, we tip-toe with care
We can’t help pretending that he’s already there
La da dee, la da dee, oh it’s so heavenly
Rehearsing a lullaby

Rehearsing a lullaby

We’re learning to rock-a-bye
As each day is ending, we tip-toe with care
We can’t help pretending that he’s already there

La da dee la da dee la da dee dee dee dee dee
La da dee, la da dee, la da dee dee dee dee dum dum.

Close your eyes, go to sleep,
Oh it’s so heavenly
Rehearsing a lullaby.
