Lyrics
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 alone

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 lullaby

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.

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound.
