Lyrics:

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
