About Everything

lyrics

The night is young and we've got something to talk on
Something you wanted to say
But you're feeling tired and the pain is bad in the evenings
Nothing seems to take it away

But I'll hold you tight
You'll sleep tonight and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything
So don't you cry
I'll be your light and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything

It's a deep blue sky and the stars are sequins in water
The moon is still and immutable
In the silent night the birds are sleeping in the moonlight
Everything is nothing but beautiful

And I'll hold you tight
You'll sleep tonight and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything
So don't you cry
I'll be your light and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything

Now I'll stoke the fire cos I know you're tired and you're colder
Feeling like you've nothing to hold onto
But it's time to sleep so ease your mind and be peaceful
An angel is looking down on you

And she'll hold you tight
You'll sleep tonight and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything
So don't you cry
She'll be your light and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything
