'O Sing to me a lullaby,

as I close my eyes under the silken sky.

My heart is heavy with bitter fear, That

love won't come from someone near.

I look into the elvish moon, of some

small hope that love is true. I watch and

wait of things to come but nothing comes

of hope I fear.

In the darkness of the night I hear, my

the heart grows empty, pain is near. I

call unto an elfish fairy, Can I be loved?

can my heart grow plenty?

She whispers deep into the wind,

a silent cry of pain within, "If love

is true, it will find you. But look you must

before you lose."

I can't deny that look I must,but can

I find a love to trust?

'O Sing to me a lullaby,

Of love to come under silken skies.

I walk and wait and wait some more,

for love, I've lost and can't be found.

My lonely heart grows ever weary,

Do I go on? Can this pain last? Will

hope win over? for the skies turn dreary.

'O sing to me a lullaby,

As I close my eyes under the silken sky.

The Sun goes down, the moon is full,

My heart feels like it's being pulled.

I look into the Sea beyond and dream of

love before I yawn.

I fall asleep and dream away, please

someone bring true love my way.

'O Sing to me a lullaby

as I dream of love under the silken sky.

As I sleep still, a man is near, watching and

waiting for my heart to heal. For him that

knows that death I saw, hardened my heart

slowly last fall.

He slowly chants the lullaby, to heal my heart

and ease my mind. I slowly awake from

lonely dreams and see the man, I've longed

to find.

I slowly look into his eyes, my fear is gone

and my heart flies, into the silken sky it

goes, to grab the love on stars it flows.

'O sing to me a lullaby,

to heal my heart, my soul, my mind.

I slowly grab the strangers hand,

His touch is soft, His eyes are

grand. I slowly whisper "Who are

you? You've Stolen my heart in

this medieval land.

His voice is like the gentle wind and

Whispers " I am the love that you have within,

I am your heart and I am your mind and you

will soon heal the pain of time. I sing to

you the lullaby that you long to hear under this

silken sky."

My eyes slowly opened like from a dream, my

heart full of joy or so it may seem. The love I saw

when my eyes were closed. My pain was gone. How

did it go?

'O sing to me the sweet lullaby

Of love, I've found under the silken sky.

I look into the world brand new, I sit and think

of love, I once knew. I look and find that it's still

there, I had just forgotten in pain and despair.

The life I've lived that's easy to do; to forget

love and heart so true.

I Now see the path that Imust take to

find love again I must not wait

'O sing to me a lullaby

Of love, I'll find neath the silken sky.

The years slowly pass as I contently

wait for a Love that is grand I will

patiently take. I slowly look up to

the silken sky and dream of the hero

that will stand by my side and slowly

like the wind, he appears in an armor

of gold, my Knight has appeared

'O sing to me my lullaby

a new love grows under the silken sky.

I slowly look at my knight so dear, his hair

is black, his eyes hold no fear. His hands

are gentle like the wind, his mouth is full

but his face is thin, He wears a cloak that

has tread many years looking for love to find again

I Can't believe that he chose me, for I am plain

and no one special you see. But then he sings

the lullaby that healed my heart, my soul, my mind.

I then grab love as it found me and look no more

into the sea. My prince found me before I knew

my hope had gone and my heart did too. I never

knew that love was near for love I had forgotten

dear.

We ride upon a silken sky to our kingdom far and wide

among elven lands and dwarven seas, of fairy forests

and big wide trees.

We together now share love and find all the things that

can't be seen.

Under silken sky and the gentle breeze, the lullaby

is sung from our dreams.

'O sing to us our lullaby,

of our love so dear under the silken sky.
