"Golden Slumbers Kiss Your Eyes"

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,

Smiles awake you when you rise;

Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,

And I will sing a lullaby:

Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

Care is heavy, therefore sleep you;

You are care, and care must keep you;

Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,

And I will sing a lullaby:

Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

Answer:

Golden Slumbers Kiss Your Eyes

Step-by-step explanation:

When wanting to lull a child to sleep, mothers or any other caretaker or guardian usually choose soothing songs with lyrics that are not difficult to understand and that deal with sweet, tender themes.

The title of this song brings to mind a beautiful sleepiness that is so inviting it is impossible to resist. The kisses on the eyes refer to the part of the body required to start sleeping and is soothing in a gentle way.
