lyrics

You've had a hard day
all work and no play
the deadlines and tension
there's no need to mention
that sleep seem so far away

You lay down your head
Toss and turn in bed
Your wheels keep on spinning
your night's just beginning
another day to dread

but close your eyes baby
I'll sing you a lullaby darling
so go on and dream for dreaming sake
and I'll be here waiting when you awake
no i can't garuntee that it'll get you through
but at least take comfort that I love you

Strands across your face
I brush them away
the fears in your breathing
I hear them all leaving
your heart slows down its pace

Your troubles can't consume you
if you do not let them
Your worries will not help you
best to just forget them
and I cannot protect you
from the darkness in your mine
I can hold your hand
I can tell you
everything's going to be all right

Blankets they beckon
yeah they're warm I reckon
Your eyelids are falling
now dreamland is calling
you're tranquil in seconds

this is your lullaby baby
to ease your troubled mind honey
and I'll be here waiting when you awake
so go on and dream for dreaming sake
no I can't garuntee it will get you through
but at least take comfort that I love you
