Lay down my child

Close your eyes one more time

Let the night take you softly into sleep

Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face

Be rest assured you will be safe

In this place



The sweetest gift 

God has given me

Graced with the tiniest beauty

These eyes have seen

Soft as the song of a winter wind

Sheltered by love 

A love that will never end



Life so often a mystery

And each of us seeking a clue

To an answer I never thought I’d find

When I lost you

But in your time with me

Somehow you taught me to see

Just as in life 

Even in death

You always will be here with me



So lay down my child

Close your eyes one more time

Let the night take you softly into sleep

And on to your maker you will fly

Low as the angels sing you a lullaby
