Lyrics

REST IN ME DARLING ONE
LIKE THE EARTH RECEIVES THE SUN
I WILL HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS
TIL A NEW DAY HAS BEGUN
STAY WITH ME, OH
THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DONE
IN THE MEANTIME, DARLING ONE
REST IN ME

REST IN ME OH MY CHILD
WE COULD BE HERE FOR A WHILE
YOU CAN OPEN UP YOUR HEART
AND LET YOUR DREAMS RUN WILD
STAY WITH ME OH
AND FORGET THE COMING MILES
IN THE MEANTIME LITTLE CHILD
REST IN ME

REST IN ME LITTLE DOVE
LET THIS COMFORT BE ENOUGH
I AM WITH YOU WHEN IT’S HARD
I COULD NEVER GIVE YOU UP
STAY WITH ME OH
IN THE SHADOW OF MY LOVE
IN THE MEANTIME LITTLE DOVE
REST IN ME
