I believe version on the Shirettes' CD actually came from "I've got that 
Shabbat Feeling with Sue Epstein" which I can't get back from my daughter 
since I came home with it a week ago.  She also has a great nighttime song -- 
"Close Your Eyes" which will bring a tear to your eyes.  You can contact her
