| Sleepsong
Lay down your head
And I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years
Of loo-li lai-lay.
And I'll sing you to sleep
And I'll sing you tomorrow...
Bless you with love
For the road that you go.
May you sail fair
For the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls
At your head and your feet;
And may you need never
To banish misfortune;
May you find kindness
In all that you meet.
May there always be angels
To watch over you
To guide you each step on the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm;
Loo-li loo-li, lai-lay.
May you bring love
And may you bring happiness
Beloved in return
To the end of your days.
Now, fall off to sleep
I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while
And sing loo-li lai-lay.
May there always be angels
To watch over you
To guide you each step on the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm;
Loo-li loo-li, lai-lay.
Loo-li loo-li, lai-lay... |
