Sleep, lay me down, hold me closely in your arms
And I will close me eyes
Please promise me
When I wake up in my dreams
you’ll be there by my side
Love, if you say you won’t slip away
And I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won’t rest until I know
You will be here in the morning by my side
Be in my reach,
I can see the one that I have waited for so long
And deep in my heart
I hope the arms that hold me now
Will hold me from now on
Love, if you say you won’t slip away
And I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won’t rest until I know
That you will be here in the morning by my side
I dread the dawn
When I awake and find you gone
Please tell me you will stay
Then sleep will come
I know the arms that hold me now
Will hold me all my days
Love, if you say you won’t slip away
And I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won’t rest until I know
You will be here in the morning by my side
