Lyrics
I’ll tell you a secret, my daughter
I am about to share a secret with you, my daughter
Life is not easy as it can seem
Life is more challenging than it appears
Life is not as pleasant as you dreamt of it
Life is not as delightful as your dreams portrayed
Life is but a nightmare from which you’re waking up
Life is like a nightmare that you are gradually awakening from
Listen to this notes and to this lyric
Pay attention to the music and lyrics
Bring this melody in your dreams
Incorporate this melody into your dreams
Listen to this notes and to this lyric
Listen to the music and lyrics attentively
Bring this melody in your dreams and never let it cease
Integrate this melody into your dreams and sustain it
Lay thee down
Lie down
Now and rest
Rest now
May thy slumber be blessed
May your sleep be blessed
Lay thee down
Lie down
Now and rest
Rest now
May thy slumber be blessed
May your sleep be blessed
Abstract this carnal illusion
Detach from the deceptive physical world
And set yourself free from your cell
Free yourself from confinement
Sleep in the dark, my dear
Sleep in darkness, my dear
Tonight you’ll sleep under heavy pall
Tonight, your sleep will be shrouded in heaviness
Blankets too heavy for a girl of your age
The blankets are too weighty for someone of your youth
There’s no better place to rest
No place is better for repose
If not in the arms of the one who loves you
Except in the embrace of the one who loves you
If not in the arms of the one who loves you
Especially if it's in the arms of the one who loves you
