The Better Life - Soft Lullaby

I lay a'sleep
taking comfort from your warmth
dreams bring tears to me 
And you hold me in your arms
Hush my every fear 
The pain stabbing my heart 
You sing to me 
And I lay a'sleep 

Once I had my doubts
It comes with a past 
Mistrust is a habit 
That will leave you on your ass 
But you proved to me
That I can trust my own heart
You sing to me 
And I lay a'sleep in your arms 

I cant imagine 
A better kind of life 
Than to live and love and grow 
With my best friend by my side
I cant imagine
A better kind of life
Than to grow and live and love
and to be my best friends wife
