The gentle touch like feathers
How sweetly you caress me
And in your arms forever I'll lie
Like the lullaby of a songbird
Your voice brings me peace
As you sweep me to your rock-a-bye
The dreams you paint for me
Your eyes forming pictures in mine
My star keeper, my night sleeper
Your love covers me warmly
Just as the blanket you lay upon me
And you whisper softly, goodnight.
