Fall asleep in my arms
With your head on my shoulder.
There’s no need to worry tonight.
The morning is still far away,
And I’m right here.
I love watching you sleep,
And it makes me so happy
To know that you’re with me tonight.
So darling, just close your green eyes
And don’t shed a tear.
The morning won’t be a friend of ours,
For daylight will take you away.
So darling, just close your eyes and sleep.
There’s nothing that we need to say.
This night will not last forever,
But the memories we make surely will.
No matter how long until I hold you again,
You know I’ll be loving you still.
