ill sing a song for you my dear under the moonlight and though i mumble ill try to be clear and get the words right just tell me what you want to hear anything for you ill slowly disappear as you drift out of view and into sleep the cow jumped over the sheep i pray the lord your soul to keep and i can see the river getting deep float upstream start to dream ill play a tune as soft and sweet as raindrops on your lips the night is cool beneath your feet rose petals on your hips so rest your heavy head dont worry about a thing you know its time for bed so close your eyes and breathe breathe deep the spoon ran away with the sheep i pray the lord your soul to keep and i can see the river getting deep float upstream start to dream soon it will be dawn and with the rising sun you know it wont be long until i lay you down once more just like the night before so baby close your eyes id love to love you all night long girl you turn me on but in the morning ill be gone so i lay you down once more go to sleep a lullaby baby i pray the lord your soul to keep the river forever getting deep float upstream start to dream then youll see what you mean to me
