Go to sleep my darling

Lay down upon your bed

May the rhymes of childhood songs

Dance inside your head

When night time falls around you

I know that you're afraid

But the heart will bring you home again

The heart is built that way

The heart will bring you home again

It hasn't failed us yet

The heart will bring you home again

The heart does not forget

So close your eyes my darling

Close your eyes and dream

The world is full of promises

And love is all it seems

Yes there will be the hard roads

That lead us all astray

But the heart will bring you home again

The heart is built that way

The heart will bring you home again

It hasn't failed us yet

The heart will bring you home again

The heart does not forget



The sun will rise my darling

And glisten off the streets

So close your eyes and believe in love

And feel safe inside your dreams

Cause no one's going to harm you

Or carry you away

But the heart will bring you home again

The heart is built that way

The heart will bring you home again

It hasn't failed us yet

The heart will bring you home again

The heart does not forget
