sleep, my child (lyrics)

sleep, my child

it's dark out, so i ask myself 'have you started to forget?'
close your eyes, close them tightly
the mood is rising slowly tonight

oh sleep, my child. no matter what may come now i'll be by your side
oh sleep, my child, i'll be by your side

your head is soft, so i ask my self 'what have you learned?'
close your eyes, close them tightly
the moon is rising slowly tonight

oh sleep, my child. no matter what may come now i'll be by your side
oh sleep, my child, i'll be by your side

sweet dreams you'll have tonight of who you'll be tomorrow
and when you wake i wish the world be rid of fear and sorrow

oh sleep, my child. no matter what may come now i'll be by your side
oh sleep, my child, i'll be by your side
