Mother, is there something in the sky?   Something up there that they hide   A jewel for me and you   An apple tree with fallen fruit      Oh daughter   Now I don't know but I believe   That its beauty's beyond words   It's like a tune that I can't sing   But I've heard it sung by birds      It' a rooftop lullaby   Falling from the sky   Sends us to sleep tonight   It's the apple in your eye   Keeps you as sweet as pie   Dreaming through the night      Oh father   Now won't you tell me if you know   Where does half of the moon go   When it's not up in the sky?   It disappears before my eyes      Oh my son   Why does morning break each day?   Why do people pass away?   Oh it's the mystery in truth   It's the innocence of youth      Or a rooftop lullaby   Falling from the sky   Sends us to sleep tonight   It's the apple in your eye   Keeps you as sweet as pie   Dreaming through the night      It's a rooftop lullaby   Falling from the sky   Sends us to sleep tonight      Lull-lull-lull-lull-lullaby
