Sleepsong (Arr. Desmond Earley)

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, sing you tomorrow
 Bless you with love for the road that you go
 May you sail far 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
