Lay down your head
And I''ll sing you a lullaby Back to the years
Of loo-li lai-lay;
And I''ll sing you to sleep
And I''ll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love
For the road that you go
May you sail fair
To the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls
At your head and your feet;
And may you need never
To banish misfortune;
May you find kindness
In all that you meet
May there always be angels
To watch over you;
To guide you each step of the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm;
Loo-li loo-li lai-lay
May you bring love
And may you bring happiness;
Be loved in return
To the end of your days;
Now fall off to sleep
I''m not meaning to keep you
I''ll just sit for a while
And sing loo-li lai-lay
May there always be angels
To watch over you;
To guide you each step of the way;
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm;
Loo-li loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li loo-li lai-lay
