Sleep, my dream angel
Sweet guardian of night
Watch over my loved ones
Til morning’s first light

Light their path
With a heavenly spark
Chase away demons
Who lurk in the dark

Guide them safely
Through dreams unseen
Under azure blue skies
Above valleys so green

Keep them close
Tucked under your wing
Shelter their souls
As you let your heart sing

Let them be peaceful
With sunlight’s first glow
As exhaustion sets in
And you sleep til you know

That when you awaken
In the ebony night
You’ll keep watch once again
Til morning’s first light
