[Verse]
Close your eyes, little one, don’t you cry tonight
Dream of leaving the world behind, where the stars shine bright
The moonlight’s soft upon your face, like a whispered tune
While dragonflies and fireflies dance beneath the moon
[Chorus]
Oh, the feeling, so tender and true
Like Jesus’ heart watching over you
Lay your worries down, let the darkness run
Close your eyes, little one, close your eyes, little one
[Verse 2]
Fields of clover, rivers deep, let them fill your dreams
Hills that roll forevermore, kissed by golden beams
The world will wait, it’ll hold its pace, till the morning breaks
For now, just drift to that quiet place, where no heart aches
[Chorus]
Oh, the feeling, so tender and true
Like Jesus’ heart watching over you
Lay your worries down, let the darkness run
Close your eyes, little one, close your eyes, little one
[Bridge]
There’s a kindness in the night, when all is still
A comfort in the shadows, a warmth to fill
So trust the breeze, let it hum your song
The night is short, but the peace is long
[Chorus]
Oh, the feeling, so tender and true
Like Jesus’ heart watching over you
Lay your worries down, let the darkness run
Close your eyes, little one, close your eyes, little one
