lullaby goodnight my angel

Christina Perri

Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you ve been asking me
I think you know what I ve been trying to say

I promised I would never leave you
Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight my angel, now it s time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay

And like a boat out on the ocean
I m rocking you to sleep
The water s dark and deep, inside this ancient heart
You ll always be a part of me

Goodnight my angel, now it s time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me

Someday we ll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on
They never die, that s how you and I will be
