VERSE

The wind might whisper a lullaby lie

But I’ll be the truth you can rely

The world may tremble, cold and wide

But you’ll find warmth where I reside

I’ve seen the dark, I’ve walked its floor,

But I won’t let it near you anymore

CHORUS

Close your eyes, I’ll keep them at bay

I’ll hold the fear ‘til it fades away

Through the silence, I’ll sing you a song

A promise to keep you safe all night long.

So, sleep, don’t worry; I’ll fight the night

I’ll keep the shadows out of sight

No shadows will harm you, no ghosts will stay

It’s my turn to chase the shadows away

VERSE

Your dreams are fragile, made of light

So, I’ll guard them through the longest night

Mistakes I’ve made, I can’t undo

But I’d trade my peace to comfort you

If time could bend, and let you stay

I’d turn back dusk and bring you day.

CHORUS

Close your eyes, I’ll keep them at bay

I’ll hold the fear ‘til it fades away

Through the silence, I’ll sing you a song

A promise to keep you safe all night long.

So, sleep, don’t worry; I’ll fight the night

I’ll keep the shadows out of sight

No shadows will harm you, no ghosts will stay

It’s my turn to chase the shadows away

BRIDGE

If I could rewrite the stars above,

I’d carve your name in everyone, with love

I’d steal the night and break it’s spell,

To give you light, where shadows fell

Even in silence – hear me pray,

That you found peace, even though you couldn’t stay

CHORUS

Close your eyes, I’ll keep them at bay

I’ll hold the fear ‘til it fades away

Through the silence, I’ll sing you a song

A promise to keep you safe all night long.

So, sleep, don’t worry; I’ll fight the night

I’ll keep the shadows out of sight

No shadows will harm you, no ghosts will stay

It’s my turn to chase the shadows away

OUTRO

If I only knew what I know today,

I would’ve held on tighter, begged you to stay.
