Sleep, lay me down, hold me closely in your arms And I will close my eyes Please, promise me that when I wake up from my dreams Youll be there by my side Love, if you say you wont slip away Then I can go dreaming of forever more But I wont rest until I know that youll be here in the morning by my side Here in my reach I can see the one that Ive waited for so long And deep in my heart Ill know the arms that hold me now Will hold me from now on I dread the dawn I awake and find you gone Please tell me you will stay Then sleep will come, I know my love has found a home In your arms all my days
arm, hold, sleep, please, closely
