SWEETEST DREAMS BE THINE
(Jim Friedman)

Shalom, lecha, may peace be with Thee, ahavti, O Baby mine,
Alma k'dosha, alma k'dosha, may sweetest dreams be thine.

Lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu. . .

They say a star shines bright in the heavens to glorify a newborn King.
But sleep, my Joy, let no one destroy Thy peaceful slumbering.

Lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu. . .

With gems and gold, with myrrh and frankincense,
All in praise came travelers three.
I wonder why, I wonder why they came in praise of Thee.

Lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu. . .

Shalom, lecha, may peace be with Thee, ahavti, O Baby mine,
Alma k'dosha, alma k'dosha, may sweetest dreams be thine.

Lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu. . .


(Shalom lecha = peace to you; Ahavti = You have my love; Alma k'dosha = virgin holy)



Plus he he played the part of Worf's adopted father in STtNG...

Was a recording my mother had of him reading "Digging the Weans"
It is online at this site:
Theodore Bikel reading “Digging the Weans” by Robert Nathan

This story made me a skeptic of those who think they know everything about anything.
