Lay down my sweet and rest your head

The sun will rise again

Be still, my dear, the sky is red

The day is done again

Relax, sweet dreamer, things can wait

Until another day

Just rest, my lovely, don't make haste

The time will come to play

Close your eyes and dream of distant lands

Quiet now, just leave things in my hands

And I will sing a lullaby

Just close your tired eyes

I promise I will stay nearby

While darkness fills the skies

And when the morning comes our way

We all will rise again

But now the twilight lights the skies

It's time to sleep again
