Softly Sleep

Softly sleep my darling
kindly resting your mind
your heart and eyes

Know as you sleep you
are protected as I will
never leave your side

And dream my dearest
sweet dreams, of the 
way your life should be

And in your dreams
as you rest my darling
please always find a
place for me

Just softly sleep my 
darling, and as you 
do, you will find it
to be

That even in your dreams
at night, you’ll feel
the peace which our love 
brings

For love you are so 
wonderful and the 
Truest pleasure of
life to me

So while you close your
eyes to quietly rest,
know by your side I will
always be.
