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.

Love, if you say, you won't slip away,
Then I can go dreaming off forevermore,
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 have waited for so long,
And deep, in my heart,
I know the arms that hold me now,
Will hold me from now on.

Love, if you say, you won't slip away,
Then I can go dreaming off forevermore,
But I, won't rest until I know that you'll be here,
In the morning by my side.

I dread the dawn I awake and find you gone,
Please tell me you will stay,
Then, sleep will come,
I know my love has found a home,
In your arms all my days.

Love, if you say, you won't slip away,
Then I can go dreaming off forevermore,
But I, won't rest until I know that you'll be here,
In the morning by my side.

In the morning by my side...
