instrumental

first verseI remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, "I'll never let you go"When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

short pause between music and singing before the chorus, complete silence

chorusJust close your eyes

The sun is going downYou'll be alright

No one can hurt you nowCome morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound
