Go to sleep, sweet child Push aside your cares Calm your beating heart Ease your furrowed brow
O God please stay here The night is windy and dark God, sit by my side God, stay through the night Bring her please Please bring her back
I can't but shut my eyes Can't but quicken my pulse Sweat beads on my neck Tears well in my eyes Bring her please Please bring her back
She began my heart a-beating She began my mind a-lovin' She starts my hands a-feelin' She's as much of me as I am Bring her back O please bring her back
