歌词
My dear, there's so much to be done
I never finish what I start
Am I losing
The time procrastinating here?
I should be rushing out the door
But you say, "Slumber."
Close your tired eyes
And let me sway with you
As you fall asleep
Rest your gentle head
And I will cradle you
As I hold you close
My love, there's still so much to do
And so much more I want to be
But I've grown up
To find the choices that I've made
Have let me fall behind somehow
Still, you say, "Slumber in my arms."
Lay back, just keep dreaming
Sleep now; in the evening
My arms will envelop you
Lay down; you're so tired (But there's just so much to do)
No more is required (Have I wasted all my time?)
Rest now as I cradle you (What am I to do?)
My dear, there's battles to be fought
With just another push or shove
I could conquer
My fears I've traveled, oh, so far (Close your weary eyes)
And still don't know which way to turn (And let me sing to you)
You say, "This way: into my arms" (As you fall asleep)
Drift off with a sigh
No longer tethered to the world outside
You're in my arms
