I always used to sing the Prologue from Joseph to my daughter when she was little.

Colle said: "Parts of "I'd Give My Life for You" from Miss Saigon could be seen as a lullaby.

The cut "Too Much for One Heart" is a possibility.

Hushabye Mountain is a lullaby, but a terribly unsettling one- it sounds more like a lullaby a child murderer would sing as he drugs the kid than a loving dad.

Could Castle on a Cloud be considered a lullaby?

Thanks for the reminder that my mom sang Bushel and a Peck to me at bedtime as well. What a sweet memory. I suppose this proves that anything can be turned into a lullaby if sung in the appropriate way.

"A Bushel and a Peck" became such a popular lullaby or just sing-around-the-house song, I suspect, because of the popular recording by Perry Como, wasn't it?

Yes, "A Bushel and Peck" was one we used. "Tender Shepherd" from Peter Pan - I even used it to teach my kids harmony and rounds. And, "On the Willows" from Godspell.

Well, not "Epiphany" from Sweeney Todd.

Wow. I could think of two or three...but after seeing the responses here, I know that if this were 30 years ago, one of the major labels would've released "Broadway's Greatest Lullabies"...or maybe they did?

My grandmother always sang Bushel and a Peck to me.
"Goodnight, My Someone" is a good one.

Sleepy Man was my absolute favorite to sing to my son as a baby! He's almost 5 now, sniff :'(
I also did Meadowlark and something called "Chanson" - not sure what it's from but Emily Skinner sang it on a Stephen Schwartz album ages ago. Occasionally Castle on a Cloud in the original French, and parts of JRB's "Hear My Song."
I still make a point each Xmas to sing this beautiful song "Christmas Eve" as recorded by Marin Mazzie on some totally obscure holiday album I have.
When I was an angsty teen, I lulled *myself* to sleep with "Hold On" and "Unlikely Lovers."

"So Long, Farewell" from SOM is sort of a lullaby, although it's a bit too uptempo.
How about "Tevye's Dream"? Just Kidding!
"Whistle Down the Wind" would work well. I think waltzes are the best, however, because of the swaying tempo - good for rocking a child.

Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

Although the words might have to be modified, I love the tune and quiet tone of Itzik's Lullaby from The Band's Visit. The first verse is lovely.

Posted: 11/8/19 at 11:53pmHow about 'Children and Art' from Sunday in the Park? The version on the 2017 Cast Recording especially sounds like a lullaby, to me at least.

Posted: 11/9/19 at 1:44amI feel like alot of songs, altough not necessarily lullabies, could be considered a lullaby. The first thing that comes to mind would be one of the slower songs from Alice By Heart altough extremley grimm lol
