Sleep, my love, as the trees above protect you from the dark A great river will watch you as you dream until dawn Sleep my love, close your eyes and when you've 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 gently I walk So go to see my love
