'You held me the whole night'
She whispered in my ear
And I said 'you're damn right
Don't want you anywhere but here'
Tucked under the moonlight
No, I did not even sleep
With your breath on my neck, you did
And that is fine with me
So here's your lullaby for the times I am not there
Yeah, here's your lullaby, just breathe, no, don't be scared
Sleep, my little lady
Sleep 'til the rising sun
Sleep, my little lady
Sleep 'til the morning comes
You looked me in my eyes
And laughed so sweet
Then I asked you 'why?'
And you said nothing to me
Tucked under the moonlight
No, I did not even sleep a wink
But with us intertwined, you did
And that is fine with me
So here's your lullaby for the times I am not there
Yeah, here's your lullaby, just breathe, no, don't be scared
Sleep, my little lady
Sleep 'til the rising sun
Sleep, my little lady
Sleep 'til the morning comes
If I should lay awake
The whole night through, oh
It's fine by me, as long
As I'm touching you
I hope you sleep
So peacefully
I hope the dreams
You dream are sweet
Sleep, my little lady
Sleep 'til the rising sun
Sleep 'til the rising sun
Sleep 'til the rising sun
