Lullaby

Never fear the coming dark
Darling, go to sleep
On the ship of night embark now
Sail into the deep
Vast domain of slumber sweet
That surrounds the world
From the port of day retreat now
With your sails unfurled.

Feel the comfort of the night
Darling, go to sleep
Let the world drift out of sight, now
Sink into the deep
Dark embrace of starry skies
That surrounds your soul
Rest your head and close your eyes now
How I love you so.
