Song lyrics

Lay down your head,
And I'll sing you a lullaby -
Back to the years,
Of loo-li lai-lay;
And I'll sing you to sleep...
And I'll sing you tomorrow...
Bless you with love,
For the road that you go...

May you sail far,
To the far fields of fortune,
With diamonds and pearls
At your head and your feet
And may you need never
To banish misfortune
May you find kindness,
In all that you meet

May there always be angels,
To watch over you;
To guide you each step of the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay.

May you bring love,
And may you bring happiness;
Be loved in return,
To the end of your days;
Now, fall off to sleep,
I'm not meaning to keep you,
I'll just sit for a while,
And sing loo-li, lai-lay

May there always be angels,
To watch over you;
To guide you each step of the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay..
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay...


Sleepsong

Lay down your head,
And I'll sing you a lullaby -
Back to the years,
Of loo-li lai-lay;
And I'll sing you to sleep...
And I'll sing you tomorrow...
Bless you with love,
For the road that you go...

May you sail far,
To the far fields of fortune,
With diamonds and pearls
At your head and your feet
And may you need never
To banish misfortune
May you find kindness,
In all that you meet

May there always be angels,
To watch over you;
To guide you each step of the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay.

May you bring love,
And may you bring happiness;
Be loved in return,
To the end of your days;
Now, fall off to sleep,
I'm not meaning to keep you,
I'll just sit for a while,
And sing loo-li, lai-lay

May there always be angels,
To watch over you;
To guide you each step of the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay..
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay...
