Gentle slumber, take me away,

1 The curtain of a quiet night falls,
2 Wrapping dreams of the stars above.
3 Listen closely, and you’ll hear
4 A tender lullaby in the breeze.
5 Gentle slumber, take me away,
6 Let my heart softly drift and soar.
7 Trusting the light of tomorrow’s dawn,
8 I’ll close my eyes and dream once more.
9 The moonlight softly kisses my cheek,
10 The silence cradles and keeps me safe.
11 Warmth from a distant memory
12 Still holds my heart and soothes my soul.
13 Gentle slumber, hold me tight,
14 Let me wander through the dreamer’s skies.
15 Healing the scars of a weary heart,
16 As hope begins to softly rise.
17 A boat floats gently on the night sea,
18 Swaying as it moves toward dawn.
19 Beyond the gentle slumber’s embrace,
20 A brand-new morning waits for me.
