Sweet dreams, my tenderness

[Verse 1]
Under the eyelids - darkness.
You're afraid to close your eyes.
The dark wants to eat your fear.
Don't be afraid, my tenderness,
I'm here.

At night, an old nightmare waits,
It creeps toward you like fog, like hate.
It wants to pull you to the bottom of the sea.
Don't be scared, my dear,
I'm here.

Your hands are cold again.
Bad dreams have cast a spell on them.
But I have warmth for hundred years.
Don't fre*eze, little one,
I'm here.

[Pre-Chorus]
My bedtime story is about
How cozy we'll be together.
My story is about how we'll
Catch all our dreams by the tail.

[Chorus]
We'll go to distant lands,
The ones you always dreamed about.
Your old scary nightmare -
We'll leave it here under the blanket.

[Verse 2]
Under the pillow, a new dream waits.
About how we build a home.
How we'll sing in it together.
Fall asleep, my tenderness,
I'm here.

The second dream - of distant shores.
Of endless seas.
You wanted to see them - so sincere.
Fall asleep, my dear,
I'm here.

The third one - of my kisses.
Let the nightmares scatter from them.
It's time to fly away from old dreams.
Fall asleep, little one,
I'm here.

[Chorus]
We'll go to distant lands,
The ones you always dreamed about.
Your old scary nightmare -
We'll leave it here under the blanket.

[Bridge]
There will come
Happily ever after, little one.
You won't sleep through this day,
I promise.

[Outro]
You won't sleep through it.
Hush, my dear, hush.
