Seán Keane - Lullaby Lyrics

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
