Turn out the lights

turn out the lights come to bed
let me ease those fears in your head
place your head on my chest
I'll rub your temples, help you rest
wrapped in my arms wont take long
as mind unwinds, again be strong
when I'm away this touch to miss
but tonight, sleep in unaltered bliss
so put your worries on the side
between these sheets you shall glide
warm embraces cover you in cold
and with your body, your heart I hold
with my embrace I do invite
sweet things happen in the night
so turn out the lights and come to bed
