lullaby
Song for sleeping
A lullaby is a gentle song sung to soothe a child to sleep.
The melodies are typically soft and repetitive, the lyrics often nonsensical or dreamlike: She hummed a lullaby until the baby's eyes closed.
By extension, anything with a similarly calming, soporific quality: the lullaby of rain on the roof.
