Hold Me Close

Hold me close, hold me tight
Let me sleep in peace
Throughout the darkest night
Let no one keep gentle thoughts
From surrounding me.

For tomorrow will be
Another day
The sun will rise and shine
Holding night at bay.

Til she too succumbs
To quiet rest
In the arms of one
Who loves her dearly
Loves her best.
