Sleep my child and peace attend thee All through the night Guardian angels God will send thee All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping Hill and dale in slumber sleeping I, my loving vigil keeping All through the night While the moon, her watch is keeping All through the night While the weary world is sleeping All through the night O'er thy spirit gently stealing Visions of delight revealing Breathes a pure and holy feeling All through the night Though I roam a minstrel lonely All through the night My true harp shall praise sing only All through the night Love's young dream alas is over Yet my strains of love shall hover Near the presence of my lover All through the night Hark, a solemn bell is ringing Clear through the night And thou my love art heavenward winging Home through the night Earthly dust from off thee shaken Soul immortal shalt thou awaken With thy last dim journey taken Home through the night Home through the night Home through the night

The day is my enemy, the night my friend For I'm always so alone Till the day draws to an end But when the sun goes down And the moon comes through To the monotone of the evening's drone I'm all alone with you All through the night I delight in your love All through the night, you're so close to me All through the night, from a height far above You and your love brings me ecstasy When dawn comes to waken me You're never there at all I know you've forsaken me Till the shadows fall But then once again I can dream I've the right To be close to you All through the night

The branches have traded Their leaves for white sleeves All warm blooded creatures make ghosts as they breathe Scarves are wrapped tightly like gifts under trees Christmas lights tangle in knots annually All families huddle closely Betting warmth against the cold All the bruises seem to surface Like mud beneath the snow So we sing carols softly As sweet as we know A prayer that our burdens will lift as we go Like young love still waiting under mistletoe We'll welcome December with tireless hope Let our bells keep on ringing Making angels in the snow And may the melody disarm us When the cracks begin to show Like the petals in our pockets May we remember who we are Unconditionally cared for By those who share our broken hearts The table is set And all glasses are full The pieces go missing May we still feel whole We'll build new traditions in place of the old Cause life without revision will silence our souls Let the bells keep on ringing Making angels in the snow And may the melody surround us When the cracks begin to show Like the petals in our pockets May we remember who we are Unconditionally cared for By those who share our broken hearts As gentle as feathers The snow piles high Our world gets rewritten and retraced every time Like fresh plates and clean slates Our future is white New Years resolutions are reset tonight
