The Lullaby
Roy Kim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to sleep with you
I won′t touch a thing
Just lay down beside me
And I'll sing you a song
Just close your eyes
And just go with the flow
Leave yourself go astray
Oh don′t worry I'll stay
Listen
La la la la la la la la la la
It's still a wonder to me
How I met such a beauty
My love now you sleep
My love
I won′t let the monsters bite
Oh well I might
It′s quite hard for me
To let you be but tonight
I swear I'll try
Hope you dream of me
Hope you breathe of me
Tomorrow will come
And tomorrow
I′ll sing you again
La la la la la la la la la
It's still a wonder to me
How I met such a beauty




My love now you sleep
My love
