LET BABY SLEEP. Copyright, 1888, by T. R. Harms & Co. Words by Frank E. McNish. Music by Samuel Bradbury. 
Oh. what is one without a friend? His life is full of care; Oh. what is home without a child? Its rooms seem cold and bare; But I have one with light blue eyes, A girl that's bright and sweet; She plays and cooes the whole day long, Then gently goes to sleep. 
Chorus. Now step very lightly, And don't make a noise; Turn down the light, And away put her toys; My darling is weary With learning to creep, Now step very lightly, And let baby sleep. 
She wakes up in the morning With a roguish little smile, Until I take her from her cot, She cooing all the while; And all day long she plays and laughs, And mingles with her toys; Our baby girl, our joy and " pride, Is one of heaven's joys.-Chorus.
