Close your eyes, my pretty child
Though the night is dark and the wind is wild
I will stand beside your bed
Tonight there is nothing you need fear or dread

You can sleep now, go to sleep
The rain falls and the windows weep
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby

Close your eyes, my sister fair
Though the snow is falling and the trees are bare
And I will hold you by the hand
Tonight there is nothing you need try to understand

You can sleep now, go to sleep
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
The daytime's dyin' and the night time's so deep
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby

Close your eyes, my mother wise
When the waves are angry and the north train cries
I stop those ghosts outside your door
Mama, don't worry 'bout those ghosts no more

You can sleep now, go to sleep
Tomorrow comes but it will keep
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby
Another lullaby, another lullaby, another lullaby
