Hi C.!

Google is the best place to find out all this stuff. Just type in the name of the song and it'll bring up tons of info and usually the lyrics as well. Google.com

It's a great place to search for anything.

Good luck!!

Haha, I can relate. I butcher the words to lullabies, and most of the time I make up the words.
Are you referring to Brahm's lullaby? Here is the link to the words :) And a bunch of other great bedtime songs.

Lullaby, and good night,
With pink roses bedight,
With lilies o'erspread,

That is such a great lullaby- I see everyone has already answered the lyrics.
I just wanted to tell you my son got a book for his birthday this weekend- it's Elmo's Good Night Stories (or something like that) and it plays that song.
He loves it and insisted on sleeping with the book last night- your daughter might like it too!

If God will thou shalt wake

Bright angels are near
So sleep without fear
They will guard thee from harm
With fair dreamland's sweet charm

My kids like it when I make up lyrics, but I know that there are websites out there that'll give you song lyrics.
One of my kids current favorites is a song I made up to the the tune of "La Cucaracha" (that Mexican cockroach song):
My name is Matty, I am a cutie, watch me do a little dance (hey, hey)
My name is Matty, I am a cuttie, I've got poopy in my pants (hey, hey).
Now everybody sings this song at home! Have fun with the songs if you don't know the words, the kids will probably remember this more.
