Hushaby

Prelude

Hushaby, my true love, hushaby

Whispered: "Sleep, my love..."

Verse 1

Hush now, my love, let the whole world fade

The moon has stitched our shadows in silver thread

Lay your head where my heartbeat keeps time

I'll guard your dreams with this heart of mine

Pre-Chorus

If the stars should lose their way tonight

I'll be your lantern, I'll be your light

Chorus

Sleep, sleep, my love, let your dreaming begin

I'll be the shore when the wild tides come in

Wherever you wander, my heart follows too

Through every lifetime, I'll come back to you

Sleep in the arms of a love that is true

Post-Chorus

Hush, hush, the night knows what we know

Two hearts can make their own moon glow

Verse 2

I've learned the language your silence speaks

The little smile that you hide when you sleep

I know every scar that the years have drawn

And I'd kiss each one till the hurt is gone

Pre-Chorus

Let tomorrow knock softly at our door

Tonight, you're the only dream I'm living for

Chorus

Sleep, sleep, my love, let your dreaming begin

I'll be the shore when the wild tides come in

Wherever you wander, my heart follows too

Through every lifetime, I'll come back to you

Sleep in the arms of a love that is true

Post-Chorus

Hush, hush, let the sleeping roses grow

I'll love you where no waking world can go

Bridge

And if the heavens asked me what I treasure

I'd give your name and nothing lesser

For I have loved you beyond time and breath

And I'll choose you even after death

Verse 3

When morning spills gold across the floor

I'll still be the one who loves you more

And if the years turn our dark hair white

I'll find your hand in the fading light

Pre-Chorus

So close your eyes, let my promise remain

I'll love you in sunshine, I'll love you in rain

Chorus

Sleep, sleep, my love, let your dreaming begin

I'll be the shore when the wild tides come in

Wherever you wander, my heart follows too

Through every lifetime, I'll come back to you

Sleep in the arms of a love that is true

Post-Chorus

Hush, hush, the night is ours to keep

My forever love, now drift to sleep

Outro

Hushaby, my true love, hushaby

I'll love you beneath every moon and sky

Hushaby
