In The Winter Sky
Lyrics & Music by Rabbi Naomi Steinberg, c 1998
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Low she lies in the winter sky,
the Chanukah sun, the Chanukah sun.
Dark she hides in the winter night,
the Chanukah moon, the Chanukah moon!
Chorus:
May this darkness rest deep in your heart,
where light and darkness both must play their part!
Luh-luh-luh-luh lai! (4x)
Verse 2:
Close your eyes and gently drift away,
to Chanukah sleep, to Chanukah sleep.
candles burn and happy children play,
in Chanukah dreams, in Chanukah dreams!
Chorus
