[Verse 1]
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
[Chorus]
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
[Verse 2]
Don't you dare look out your window, darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside your door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone...
Gone
[Chorus]
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
[Interlude]
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
[Chorus]
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound...
[Outro]
Oooh, oooh-whoa-whoa, oooh, oooh oh
Oooh (uhmm), oooh (hmm)-whoa-whoa, oooh, oooh oh
Home
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside your door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone...

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
[Interlude]
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
[Chorus]
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh-whoa-whoa, oooh, oooh oh
