♥ღ♥ While you lay
I will keep you in sight
Watching you sleep
I’m the angel of night
While you dream
I keep the wicked at bay
I am black as the night
With eyes bright as day
Now don’t worry your head
Cause I’m here to stay
You know me so well
Yes I am the strong
That sings you to sleep
With my symphony song
As you drift away
I'll wrap you up tight
I told you before
I’m the angel of night ♥ღ♥
