V1: If I sing you this song,
will you show me a smile?
I’ll keep it all life long,
though that be only a while.
If you recollect me,
try to think of this song.
When you're grown, I’ll have left,
yet my heart in the song beats on.
Chorus: A raft of joys arrive mid-storm
and gloom of night,
and what was wrong for you
is suddenly made right.
Sleep tight,
my little angel,
sleep tight.
V2: In a blink of an eye,
the gears of time will turn.
What awaits us, you and I,
we must wait a while to learn.
If it’s fate I’m not here
when the hard rain comes ‘round,
let this song quell your fear,
and the spirit of love calm you down.
Chorus:
Break:
Bridge: My lasting love for you
will always help to see you through.
Invisible and without sound,
its armor wraps you round and round.
Chorus:
