SLEEP, MY CHERUB SLEEP

OFF TO DREAMLAND YOU GO

DON'T LEAVE THE LULLABIES I SING TO YOU

ITS THE ONLY THING I CAN DO
THAT IS HOW A MOTHER'S LOVE CAN DO

SLEEP, MY CHERUB SLEEP
DON'T LET THE "NOISE" OUTSIDE WAKE YOU UP
GROWNUPS ARE COMPILICATED BEINGS.

SLEEP, MY CHERUB, SLEEP
DREAM OF BEAUTIFUL DREAMS
DON'T LET THE OUTSIDE WORLD BOTHER YOU
AS LONG AS I'M HERE,
I'LL KEEP YOU SAFE

SLEEP, MY CHERUB, SLEEP
LET THE ANGELS WATCH OVER YOU
BE AT PEACE
NO MATTER WHERE I AM
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

SLEEP, MY CHERUB, SLEEP
I CAN'T PROTECT YOU FOREVER
I'M SORRY IF I CAN'T SHIELD YOU
BUT LET THE LULLABIES REMIND YOU OF ME IT WILL DRIVE THE PHANTOMS AWAY

PLEASE SMILE...AS YOU SLEEP
LET THE QUIET SPLENDOR OF THE NIGHT CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OF TENDER INNOCENCE.
