I remember tears streaming down your face When I said, I'll never let you go When all those shadows almost killed your light I remember you said, Don't leave me here a - lone But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes The sun is going down You'll be alright No one can hurt you now Come morning light You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window Darling everything's on fire The war outside our door keeps raging on Hold on to this lullabye Even when the music's gone. Gone.
Just close your eyes The sun is going down You'll be alright No one can hurt you now Come morning light You and I'll be safe and sound
Oooo Oooo Aaah Aaah... x2
Just close your eyes You'll be alright Come morning light You and I'll be safe and sound
