"Sleepsong" by Secret Garden


Verse 1:
Dm                            Bb         C
Lay down your head, and I'll sing you a lullaby
 Dm                   Bb         C
Back to the years of loo-li-lai-ley
          Dm
And I'll sing you to sleep
          Bb          C
And I'll sing you to morrow
 Dm             Bb           Am           Dm
Bless you with love for the road that you go


Verse 2:
Dm            Bb         Gm              A
May you sail fair to the far fields of fortune
      Dm           Bb             Gm            Am
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
    Bb            F        Gm        Am
And may you need never to banish misfortune
Dm            Bb         Am            Dm
May you find kindness in all that you meet


Chorus:
           Bb        C         Am        Bb
May there always be angels to watch over you
    Bb             C          Dm
To guide you each step of the way
    Bb            C        Am            Bb
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Bb      C          Dm
Loo-li-loo-li-lai-ley

Verse 3:
Dm                      Bb             C
May you bring love, and may you bring happiness
    Dm        Bb          Gm           Am
Be loved in return to the end of your days
     Bb           F             Bb         Am
Now fall off to sleep; I'm not meaning to keep you
          Dm         Bb            Am         Dm
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li-lai-ley
