Lyrics

V1:
The sun was rising, he was barely awake
He didn't know if she'd be gone
But the way she breathed told him she'd want to stay
He couldn't ask her for more
She looked so beautiful under the blankets
So he laid down and closed his eyes
And he said, "Baby, I don't want to wake you
But I wrote you a lullaby."
And he said:

C1:
Stay, stay
Don't you ever go away
Be my little angel, my gypsy queen
Be a pretty page in a magazine

V2:
A few weeks later, took her dancing at night
With tender feet in summer grass
And he did his best to make the stars come alive
And paint a picture of them
Then as they lay on a cool, clear evening
It was back in his arms she fell
And she said, "Baby, I'd save this for later, but it's nice in your arms so what the hell?"
And she said:

C2:
I'll stay, my love I'll never go away
I'll be your little angel, your gypsy queen
I'll be a pretty page in a magazine

V3:
It's late at night and they've lived a long life
They moved a family away
Two young lovers grown up to be gray
With all their time in between
But now it's time for her to go
To lay down and close her eyes
And she says, "Baby, I love you so. Just sing me one last lullaby."
And he said:

C3:
Stay, stay
Don't you ever go away
Be my little angel, my gypsy queen
Be a pretty page in a magazine
You're everything

Bridge:
Into their song she slipped away
And he kissed his teardrops off her face
But late at night when he's asleep
She comes back down to watch him dream
And sings

C4:
I stayed
My love I'd never go away
See now, I'm your angel
I'll always be and I hold you tight when you dream of me
So dream of me, lovingly, and I'll always always be your
Everything
