Put your head on my shoulder,

And go to sleep.

As the sun falls, it'll get colder,

But you can take warmth from me.

I'll stroke your head,

I'll sing you sweet dreams,

Even when my head feels like lead

I'll stay awake and guard you against everything.

I'll drive away the ghosts

From your nightmares,

I won't let the men in white

Touch even your hair.

When the sun comes back up,

We'll do down the stream.

With any luck

We may catch your favorite fish.

Full and content in my arms,

You can lay with your head on my lap

And you can drift again, to sleep.

I'll watch your face, unlined

So beautiful and so sweet.

When you wake up, we'll talk,

And we'll be in peace.

With our past behind us,

We can freely breathe.

We still have flashbacks

But we manage together here.

You sing once in a while

And the birds stop to listen,

You get a faraway look in your eye

And your eyes start to glisten.

Don't hold back, darling,

Just pour your heart out.

I'll catch if you're falling

And you'll feel much better before long.

I'll be your secret keeper,

Don't be scared;

Cause I love you with my heart,

And will always be here.
