written by Greg Trooper, Tom Russell Go to sleep my darling Lay down upon your bed May the rhymes of childhood songs Dance inside your head When night time falls around you I know that you're afraid But the heart will bring you home again The heart is built that way The heart will bring you home again It hasn't failed us yet The heart will bring you home again The heart does not forget So close your eyes my darling Close your eyes and dream The world is full of promises And love is all it seems Yes there will be the hard roads That lead us all astray But the heart will bring you home again The heart is built that way The heart will bring you home again It hasn't failed us yet The heart will bring you home again The heart does not forget The sun will rise my darling And glisten off the streets So close your eyes and believe in love And feel safe inside your dreams Cause no one's going to harm you Or carry you away But the heart will bring you home again The heart is built that way The heart will bring you home again It hasn't failed us yet The heart will bring you home again The heart does not forget
