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
