Sleep, my love, as the trees above 
protect you from the dark. 
great river will watch you as 
you dream until dawn. 
Sleep my love 
close your eyes 
and when you've awaken 
the new day will bring to you 
a bright new world. 
Sleep my love as the birds above 
do rest their weary wings. 
Let the rain play a gentle song 
to help your dreams sing. 
Sleep my love 
close your eyes 
and when you've awaken 
the new day will bring to you 
a bright new world. 
Ever so gently hear my voice 
Ever so softly feel my touch 
Always so gently I walk 
So go to sleep, my love.
