Sleep my love
As the trees above
Protect you from the dark
Our great river will watch you as
You dream until dawn
Sleep my love
Close your eyes
And when you awaken
The new day will bring to you
A bright new world
Sleep my love
As the birds above
Do rest their weary wings
Let the rain play a gentle song
To help your dreams sing
Sleep my love
Close your eyes
And when you awaken
The new day will bring to you
A bright new world
Ever so gently hear my voice
Ever so softly feel my touch
Always so tenderly I watch
So go to sleep my love
I
