Sleep, my darling, sleep
Lay down your sweet head
And sleep in restful peace
Off the pain to shed
And when the golden sunrise
Strokes you with her warm rays
Dream of something nice!

If you should feel fear
Or darkness in the air
Remember I shall be there
To guide you and to steer
This boat that we have been in
For ever so long
So close your eyes, my darling,
Just listen to this song ...

There's a rainbow high in the sky
That the Lord has set
To remember you by
Never will it be gone
Your warmth and your loyality
So sleep, my darling, sleep,
close your eyes!
Sleep, my darling, sleep,
Just close your eyes!
Sleep, my darling, sleep,
Close your eyes!
