Tonight when the darkness comes
Why don't we treat it like a friend?
Then we'll both be glad to see the night
And we'll be hoping it's never gonna end
So don't be afraid
Of what the night time may bring
You must understand
That you can dream of anything
So fall into sleep, peaceful and deep
May this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer, don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
You won't be alone
For I will not be denied
Under the darkest of skies
I'm gonna be by your side
So fall into sleep, peaceful and deep
And may this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer, don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Well I know
I can see it in your eyes
You're tired of fighting everyday
Trying to struggle through the night
Yes I know that it's hard to carry on
So just lay down your head
And in your dreams you will be strong
Huh ohh ohh hoo
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Hooh, like a child
Peaceful and deep
Oh oh huh
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And you when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Oh hoh muh muh
Oh hoh oh
Hoh hoh

Sleep like a child

Sleep like a child
