Lullaby

Sleep, lay me down, hold me closely in your arms And I will close my eyes And please, promise me that when I wake up from my dreams You'll be there by my side Love, if you say you won't slip away Then I can go dreaming of forever more But I won't rest until I know that you'll be here in the morning by my side Here in my reach I can see the one that I've waited for so long And deep in my heart I'll know the arms that hold me now Will hold me from now on Love, if you say you won't slip away Then I can go dreaming of forever more But I won't rest until I know that you'll be here in the morning by my side I dread the dawn I awake and find you gone Please tell me you will stay Then sleep will come, I know my love has found a home In your arms all my days Love, if you say you won't slip away Then I can go dreaming of forever more But I won't rest until I know that you'll be here in the morning by my side --- Lullaby - Seán Keane
