Sweet Lullaby For Love

Sleep now, love
You’ve seen enough
Of misery and pain

Sleep now tight
You’ve had enough of lies
Rest well beyond the starlit sky

I’ve seen enough of dreams
Under the white core of midnight
I’ve had enough of suffering
Beneath the stars singing me a lullaby

Rest now, my love
Sleep well, dear knight
I promise you I’ll stand guard

You’re tired and lost
Promises you’ve made I keep in secret
That oath was a great cost
But the one I would never forget

Caressing the heart that beats for me
Forgiving the past for the future to live
I will forever dream of innocent relief

Holding my breath I still see
The night passing over the dawn
I count the drops in the sea
To release the pure heart once born
But hidden in the dark so deep

Rest now, my love
You’ve had enough of pain
Sleep now well
My dear knight of sweet dream

I will sing you a lullaby till dawn
Relieving the agony within
Until I know it is long gone

Sleep now, my love
I will guard this night
Resting still with you under the stars
Caressing the dreams in sad eyes
Filling this heart with lust for life

Sleep now, love
Rest in me with a lullaby
Sleep tight, my dear knight
