Lyrics

You sit on my shoulders
can you see the world from up there
is it smiling at you
I will run my fingers
through your long hair
and tell you it's true

True love will last forever
all heroes wear white
all babies go to heaven
all children sleep tight
mom and dad will stay together
you will never lose sight of what matters
I promise promise

Goodnight close your eyes
and I will sing you to sleep with this lullabye

Born in this land of plenty
and yet there are so many
who will never share your point of view
their hearts have all been broken
no sooner have I spoken than I know
it will happen to you
But your conviction and devotion
run deeper than the ocean
so just hold on to what you know is true

Goodnight close your eyes
and I will sing you to sleep
with this lullabye

And I know people say
this world will eat up
this world will spit you out
and this world may seem gray
and your heart may fill with fear
and may fill with doubt
but if there's one thing
I can give you
let me give you what's true

True love will last forever
all heroes wear white
all babies go to heaven
all children sleep tight
mom and dad will stay together
you will never lose sight of what matters
I promise promise

Goodnight close your eyes
and I will sing you to sleep
with this lullabye
