Sleep, lay me down, hold me closely in your arms
And I will close my eyes.
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 the arms that hold me now
Will hold me 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.
And I will close my eyes.
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.
