I’ll sing to thee<\/p>\n

In the same way you once sung to me<\/p>\n

I will lay you down<\/p>\n

Beneath the old willow tree<\/p>\n

But the autoharp you once used to play<\/p>\n

Will be put away<\/p>\n

Will be put away<\/p>\n

Put away<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll sing to thee<\/p>\n

In the same way you once sung to me<\/p>\n

I will tuck you in<\/p>\n

For a long winter’s sleep<\/p>\n

And the folk hemns you once used to sing to me<\/p>\n

I will make them ring<\/p>\n

I will make them ring<\/p>\n

Make them ring<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll sing to thee<\/p>\n

In the same way you once sung to me<\/p>\n

I will let you go<\/p>\n

Before I must walk home alone<\/p>\n

And the sad sound this shared lullaby<\/p>\n

Will be my goodbye<\/p>\n

Will by my goodbye<\/p>\n

Goodbye<\/p>\n
