Lyrics

When I was young I was scared of the night
Haunted by demons
Prayed for the light
Mother would tell me don’t think about the fear
So I always used to try
To see dreams and lullabies

Take a dream, a little dream
One in which your hero
Leads your hand to distant lands
And wipes away your fear
So once the dream is in your mind
And everything’s alright
Lullaby, before you say goodnight

Lullaby to help you sleep
See the sun tomorrow
Hush a while, cry a while
Helps relieve your sorrow
Don’t despair, just say a prayer
Pray to he who smiles on you
Lullaby when you feel like a child

Fairy tales with magic spells
And knights in shining armour
Princesses, white horses, unicorns
A prince or two, in love with you
To rescue you from danger
When it’s real to you
You never know, it may come true

If you take a dream, a little dream
One in which your hero
Leads your hand to distant lands
And wipes away your fear
So once the dream is in your heart
And everything’s OK
Lullaby until the break of day
