Dream No More

G                   C
Close your eyes and sleep, my love,
Am              D
Rest here in my arms;
Em               Bm
While I hold you close to me
Am              Bm
You can know no harm.
     Em       D       Bm       Em
The world outside is cold and cruel,
                  G    Bm
Dangers cut, and deep.
En            Bm
Do not ask me how I know;
Am  D      Em    D
My love, sleep.

Sleep, my lord, and dream no more,
Still your heart and rest;
I'll not let deceiving hope
Linger in your breast.
Yet once I shared those dreams with you.
By those dreams we swore.
Do not ask my why I've changed;
Sleep, and dream no more.

Of the truth I bought so dear
I'll not speak one breath.
Could you know, I think you would
Still fly into death.
So sleep, my love, my life, my lord,
Softly now and slow,
Close your eyes, and dream no more;
You cannot know what I know.
