Lay down your head'
And I''ll sing you a lullaby Back to the years'
Of loo-li lai-lay;
And I''ll sing you to sleep…
And I''ll sing you tomorrow…
Bless you with love'
For the road that you go.
May you sail fair'
To the far fields of fortune'
With diamonds and pearls'
At your head and your feet;
And may you need never
To banish misfortune;
May you find kindness'
In all that you meet.
May there always be angels'
To watch over you;
To guide you each step of the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm;
Loo-li' loo-li' lai-lay.
May you bring love'
And may you bring happiness;
Be loved in return'
To the end of your days;
Now' fall off to sleep'
I''m not meaning to keep you'
I''ll just sit for a while'
And sing loo-li' lai-lay.
May there always be angels'
To watch over you;
To guide you each step of the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm;
Loo-li' loo-li' lai-lay.
Loo-li' loo-li' lai-lay.
