Lyrics
Lila
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Close your eyes
The dark outside can't hurt you
And I will never desert your bedside
So close them tight
The stars are so glad that they've found you
And on the blankets that surround you
They shine their light
They shine their light
So rest your head
And I will be watching from the doorway
As you slip into a perfect, peaceful sleep
And morning will come
In all its simple glory
And you will find the light
And I will be there
Standing in your shadow
Knowing that you once were mine
All mine, my baby
My baby, my girl
My baby
