Seán Keane - Lullaby Lyrics

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
You’ll be there by my side.

Refrain.

Love, if you say you won’t slip away
Then I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won’t rest until
I know that you’ll be here in the morning by my side.

Here in my reach,
I can see the one that I’ve waited for so long
And deep in my heart I’ll know the arms that hold me now
Will hold me from now on.

Refrain.

I dread the dawn I awake and find you gone
Please tell me you will stay.
Then sleep will come, I know the arms that hold me now
Will hold me all my days.

Refrain.
