Lay down my child Close your eyes one more time Let the night take you softly into sleep Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face Be rest a**ured you will be safe In this place The sweetest gift God has given me Graced with the tiniest beauty These eyes have seen Soft as the song of a winter wind Sheltered by love A love that will never end Life so often a mystery
And each of us seeking a clue To an answer I never thought I'd find When I lost you But in your time with me Somehow you taught me to see Just as in life Even in d**h You always will be here with me So lay down my child Close your eyes one more time Let the night take you softly into sleep And on to your maker you will fly Low as the angels sing you a lullaby
