Lyrics
Mosul Lullaby c p 2016 by Mike Nobel Close your eyes A kiss goodnight Don't think about the Fire in the sky Just squeeze my hand Tight as you can We'll be ready when the Thunder roars again Now hold me while we sing a lullabye And imagine all the stars in the sky And an angel in the moon, watching over you, Promising that in the morning light, You're gonna be allright Dream your dreams A child's dreams Of a world where people Live in harmony My precious child You are my life And I promise I will Never leave your side So hold me while I sing a lullabye And imagine all the stars in the sky And the angel in the moon, watching over you, Promises that in the morning light .... You're gonna be allright You're gonna be allright .... cp 2016, music and lyrics, by Mike Nobel
