A Quiet Thing / Hush, Little Baby - Sutton Foster, Megan McGinnis

When it all comes true

Just the way you planned

It’s funny but the bells don’t ring

It’s a quiet thing

When you hold the world

In your trembling hand

You’d think you’d hear a choir singing

It’s a quiet thing

There are no exploding fireworks

Where’s the roaring of the crowds?

Maybe it’s the strange new atmosphere

Way up here among the clouds

But I don’t hear the drums

I don’t hear the drums

And I don’t hear the band

I don’t hear the band

The sounds I’m told such moments bring

Happiness comes in on tiptoe

Well, whatd’ya know?

Well, whatd’ya know?

It’s a quiet thing

It’s a quiet thing

A very quiet thing

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word

Mama’s gonna buy you a mockin' bird

And if that mockin' bird don’t sing

Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass

Mama’s gonna buy you a lookin' glass

So hush, little baby, don’t you cry

Mama’s gonna sing you

Mama’s gonna sing you a lullaby

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word

Mama’s gonna buy you a mockin' bird

There are no exploding fireworks

Where’s the roaring of the crowds?

Maybe it’s the strange new atmosphere

Way up here among the clouds

But I don’t hear the drums (so hush, little baby)

I don’t hear the band (don't you cry)

The sounds I’m told such moments bring (mama's gonna sing you a lullaby)

Happiness comes in on tiptoe

Well, whatd’ya know?

It’s a quiet thing

A very quiet thing
