• Close your eyes and fall into sleep
    Shut your glimmering diamond eyes
    So that I need not see you weep
    Close your eyes once more and rest
    Within the warmth against my chest
    Block out nature's whispers
    And I'll hold thy hand as one slumbers
    I've given you one last drink
    To help you fall back away
    And now I hold you in my arms
    And can't think of a word to say
    But keep thine eyes shut
    I've let you stay within your dreams
    No one can tear you from them
    Rip them at the seams
    And as i hand you to the reaper
    And watch his icy grip tighten deeper
    One breath of words is my last cry
    As I feel a tear fall from my eye
    Turning my face up to the Heavens above
    I sigh "Sleep infinitely peaceful, my love."
