|Please don't cry
For the ghost and the storm outside
Will not invade this sacred shrine
Nor infiltrate your mind
 
My life down I shall lie
If the bogey-man should try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
To tease, torment and tantalize
 
Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darkness lifts and the room is bright
I'll still be by your side for you are all that matters
And I'll love you till the day I die
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
 
Ceiling shadows shimmy by
And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
There's sadness in your beautiful eyes
Your untouched, unsoiled, wondrous eyes
 
My life down I shall lie
Should restless spirits try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
I once had a child and it saved my life
I never even asked his name
I just looked into his wondrous eyes
And said "never never never again"
 
And all too soon I did return
Just like a moth to a flame
So rattle my bones all over the stones
I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
See how words as old as sin
Fit me like a glove
I'm here and here I'll stay
Together we lie, together we pray
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine, mine
 
Climb upon my knee, sonny boy
Oh, though you're only three, sonny boy
You're mine
And your mother she just never knew
As long as there's love
As long as there's love
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
As long as there's love
As long as there's love
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
Mine...
Mine...

Please don't cry

For the ghost and the storm outside Will not invade this sacred shrine Nor infiltrate your mind

My life down I shall lie If the bogey-man should try To play tricks on your sacred mind To tease, torment and tantalize

Wavering shadows loom A piano plays in an empty room There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight And when darkness lifts and the room is bright I'll still be by your side for you are all that matters And I'll love you till the day I die There never need be longing in your eyes As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine

Ceiling shadows shimmy by And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey There's sadness in your beautiful eyes Your untouched, unsoiled, wondrous eyes

My life down I shall lie Should restless spirits try To play tricks on your sacred mind I once had a child and it saved my life I never even asked his name I just looked into his wondrous eyes And said "never never never again"

And all too soon I did return Just like a moth to a flame So rattle my bones all over the stones I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns See how words as old as sin Fit me like a glove I'm here and here I'll stay Together we lie, together we pray There never need be longing in your eyes As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine, mine

Climb upon my knee, sonny boy Oh, though you're only three, sonny boy You're mine And your mother she just never knew As long as there's love As long as there's love I did my best for her I did my best for her As long as there's love As long as there's love I did my best for her I did my best for her Mine... Mine...
