Close your eyes my child
Yes, go to sleep
Give to your eyes,
The rest that they desire
Let dreams consume you
Rest your dreary head
I shall protect you
I will wrap my arms \'round your fragile body
The warmth of your small form heating me
I will love you
I will care
When you skin your knee,
I\'ll be there
When you need a shoulder to cry on
Mine will be waiting
When you need a hug
My arms will be spread out wide
So rest your tiny head
Close your beautiful eyes
When you wake up
I\'ll still be here.
