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

"This Time Tomorrow" from Tom Sawyer.
"Feed the Birds" from Mary Poppins (My daughter reminded me of this one. I can't believe I didn't think of it right away!)

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.

Apukad Eruz Kazen (Hungarian Lullaby) ... I totally misspelled this.. from the Broadway version of CHESS

"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.

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.

How 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.

I 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
