Sleep Now, My King

Before this night ends
Say twice my name
I will guide you into honey of May

Let sweet caresses shelter you, my love
Let me in while you sleep silently next to me

Before this night ends
Whisper twice my name
So I cover you within my core

Let me shelter you in your sleep
Let me guard your dream
Sleep now tight, my king
Right next to me

Till the end I stand guard
With flaming heart
Restlessly sheltering you from all the harm

Sleep now by my side, my king
Your heart will ache no more
While I still sing you a song
Sleep well now, my dear
Sleep now, my love
I will take you to sweet summer bound
I will show you the dreams of eternity 
Just follow me now into the land of fantasy
Sweet herbs of June
Heady gold of autumn covered with dew
Reflections in midnight sky, deep eyes of you
I dream of sleepless awe
Falling asleep in your arms before the dawn
Sleep now by my side, my king
Your heart will ache no more
While I still sing you a song
