TRANSATLANTIC LULLABY   
(Morgan / McDermott)
Adelaide Hall - 1939


New York’s skyscrapers are sleeping 
Dawn comes creeping on
Street lamps are shining more clearly
Night has nearly gone
Papa and mama both are yawning now
All their goodnights will soon be said
It won’t be long until the morning now
And time to go to bed

Soft Manhattan evenings fall
A velvet dust envelops all
On Hudson River, distant tugboats cry
Ship to ship and shore to shore
The waters make a shining floor
And hum a transatlantic lullaby

The sky is silky dark, it’s cool in Central Park
The traffic cars all clanging past
A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one
And Broadway goes to bed at last

Tomorrow seems a distant beam
And still the rocky waters gleam,
And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby

The sky is silky dark, it’s cool in Central Park
The charley cars all clanging past
A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one
And Broadway goes to bed at last

Tomorrow seems a distant beam
And still the rocky waters gleam
And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby
