3. And when I am tired I'll nes - tle my head In the

go where I ask you to wan - der, I will

ques-tions or cares to per - plex you, There'll be

bo - som that's sooth'd me so oft - en, And the

lead you a - way to a beau - ti - ful land,&mdash;The

no lit - tie bruis - es or bumps to ca - ress,  Nor

wide a - wake stars shall sing in my  stead,  A

dream-land that's wait - ing out yon - der. We'll

patch -ing of stock - ings to vex you; For  I'll

song which our dream - ing shall soft - en. So,
