lullaby

goodnight

my angel

time to close your eyes

and save these questions for another day

i think i know what you've been asking me

i think you know what i've been trying to say

i promised i would never leave you

and you should always know

wherever you may go

no matter where you walk

i never will be far away

goodnight

my angel

now it's time to sleep

and still

so many things i want to say

remember all the songs you sang for me

when we went sailing on an aeroplane

and like a boat out on the ocean

i'm rocking you to sleep

the water's dark and deep

inside this ancient heart

you'll always be a part of me

goodnight

my angel

now it's time to dream

and dream how wonderful your life will be

someday your child may cry

and if you sing this lullaby

then in your heart

there will always be a part of me

someday

we'll all be gone

but lullabies go on and on

they never die

and that how you and i will be
