about

Written for my daughter, Anna, when she was still small, and loved to hear stories about elfs and fairies.
It is so good to laugh and smile with your children!

LYRICS:

lyrics

Every night when girls are sleeping
down the stairs an elf comes creeping
bringing dreams and smiles for keeping till the dawn of day

Weaves the spell of pleasant memories
of the day of beach and sea
so that the smell of butter cookies
stays till way past tea

Then the light comes thru the window
sleepy arms and legs they stretch
though eyes are closed and smiles remain
from dreams of yesterday!
