Space Lullaby lyrics

Darkness falls

A favourite blanket that surrounds us all

A quiet ending to a busy day

Of noise and troubles we have put away to sleep

You and I

You in your bedroom, me up in the sky

As close as dreaming, we are holding hands

We hug so tightly as you lay down, down to sleep

To sleep

Dream your dreams

Unspoken magic may be what it seems

You soar so high with me we touch the sky

And lightly land upon the bed, lay down to sleep

You say I've been away too long

I'm only here, and then I'm gone

But I am coming home to tuck you in to bed

I will love

You now and always to the stars above

Rainbow of colour swirling overhead

A favourite story that we read to fall asleep

Far away

I'm here beside you, darling, come what may

Now that the night is crawling off to bed

Lay down upon your pillow, pretty head, to sleep

To sleep

Lay down, down to sleep

Lay down, down to sleep

To sleep

Lay down, down to sleep

To sleep
