Sleepsong

Sleepsong - Secret Garden/Fionnuala Gill

Lyrics by：Brendan Graham

Composed by：Rolf Løvland

Lay down your head

And I'll sing you a lullaby Back to the years

Of loo-li lai-lay

And I'll sing you to sleep

And I'll sing you tomorrow

Bless you with love

For the road that you go

May you sail fair

To the far fields of fortune

With diamonds and pearls

At your head and your feet

And may you need never

To banish misfortune

May you find kindness

In all that you meet

May there always be angels

To watch over you

To guide you each step of the way

To guard you and keep you

Safe from all harm

Loo-li loo-li lai-lay

May you bring love

And may you bring happiness

Be loved in return

To the end of your days

Now fall off to sleep

I'm not meaning to keep you

I'll just sit for a while

And sing loo-li lai-lay

May there always be angels

To watch over you

To guide you each step of the way

To guard you and keep you

Safe from all harm

Loo-li loo-li lai-lay

Loo-li loo-li lai-lay
