Go to sleep, sweet child
Push aside your cares
Calm your beating heart
Ease your furrowed brow

O God please stay here
The night is windy and dark
God, sit by my side
God, stay through the night
Bring her please
Please bring her back

I can't but shut my eyes
Can't but quicken my pulse
Sweat beads on my neck
Tears well in my eyes
Bring her please
Please bring her back

She began my heart a-beating
She began my mind a-lovin'
She starts my hands a-feelin'
She's as much of me as I am
Bring her back
O please bring her back
