As the day grows dark
And the golden sun sinks low
All the songbirds fly back to their nest
Because they know that it's quiet time
Quiet time
Watch the daylight go
Quiet time
It's quiet time
Time to take it slow
They found nuts and seeds
And acorns to bury deep
Now the busy squirrels
Race up their trees to get some sleep
'Cause it's quiet time
Quiet time
Turn the lights down low
Quiet time
It's quiet time
Time to take it slow
They have fished all day
In an icy mountain stream
Now the grizzly bears are curling up
To catch a dream
And it's quiet time
Quiet time
Let the night winds blow
Quiet time
It's quiet time
Time to take it slow
All the daytime animals
In the evening
Just like you
Lay their weary bodies down
And sleep
The whole night through
'Twas a long, full day
With so much to see and do
Now you're safely tucked in bed
And I am here with you
And it's quiet time
Quiet time
All the creatures know
Quiet time
It's quiet time
Watch the daylight go
Turn the lights down low
Let the night winds blow
'Cause it's quiet time
It's quiet time
Time to take it slow
