The day has shared its secrets The sun has shown you smiles But as the shadows lengthen I see the tiredness touch your eyes For now the time has come to put the day behind you And keep your promise to the night And if you let me sing a lullaby beside you Then I know that things will be all right Dream softly, dream softly The birds are sleeping and the night is deep The moon is watching and the stars are bright So don't fear, don't cry, dream softly Your head is on the pillow The moonlight strikes your hair And as I watch you sleeping I know that there's a dream we'll share That soon the time will come To put the day behind me And keep my promise to the night And then I know you'll sing a lullaby beside me And I'll know that things will be all right Dream softly, dream softly The birds are sleeping and the night is deep The moon is watching and the stars are bright So don't fear, don't cry, dream softly
