Close your eyes, asleep you may,
the sweetest dreams for you I pray,
sleep my child, now don't you cry,
as I sing this lost sweet lullaby.
Singing softly, singing true,
this lowly song, i sing for you,
slowly fade, life pass you by,
as I sing this lost sweet lullaby.
Now cast forth your fears aside,
as the day of which he had died,
oh child of mine don't you cry,
as I sing this lost sweet lullaby.
Save thy soul, keep one by night,
within the darkness, comes the fright,
lonely star, look to the sky,
as I sing this lost sweet lullaby.
Dry your tears, no beauty's pain,
neither goodbyes, nor lover's gain,
quiet thy cries, one reply
as I sing this lost sweet lullaby.
