Lay down my child Close your eyes one more time Let the night take you softly into sleep Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face Be rest assured you will be safe In this place
The sweetest gift God has given me Graced with the tiniest beauty These eyes have seen Soft as the song of a winter wind Sheltered by love A love that will never end
Life so often a mystery And each of us seeking a clue To an answer I never thought I'd find When I lost you But in your time with me Somehow you taught me to see Just as in life Even in death You always will be here with me
So lay down my child Close your eyes one more time Let the night take you softly into sleep And on to your maker you will fly Low as the angels sing you a lullaby
