Secret Garden - Sleepsong (Live at Kilden / 2015)

Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.


Secret Garden is an Irish-Norwegian band featuring new instrumental music, led by the duo consisting of Irish violinist and singer Fionnuala Sherry and Norwegian composer, arranger and pianist Rolf Løvland.


Here is the lyrics from this beautiful lullaby:


"Sleepsong"


Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow Bless you with love for the road that you go May you sail fair to the far fields of fortune With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet And may you need never to banish misfortune May you find kindness in all that you meet [Chorus:] May there always be angels to watch over you To guide you each step of the way To guard you and keep you safe from all harm Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay May you bring love and may you bring happiness Be loved in return to the end of your days Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay [Chorus] Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay...
