Lay soft on your pillow tonight For the morning will come too soon Watching the shadows fade into light We will bid farewell to the moon
And while you are sleeping my love I will watch over you Flickering eyes show your innermost dreams When love comes to us anew
Though I may be some distance away In truth we are as one And you will be with me by night and by day And forever when all is gone
The night is too short my love And the road is too long to know I will carry this memory of you To the places I must go
When the swallows return with the spring And the meadows are flowered in bloom I will return to see you again And the place that I call home
And though I may be some distance away In truth we are as one And you will be with me by night and by day And forever when all is gone
Lay soft on your pillow tonight For the morning will come too soon Watching the shadows fade into light We will bid farewell to the moon We will bid farewell to the moon
