Oh my dearest Teddy boy,
you showed me neverending joy.
Close your eyes, don't watch the sky;
fall asleep to this lullaby.
When you wake I will be there
to make sure life is more than fair.
You stand as a reminder of
the victory of true love.
Oh, sleep you well.
Oh, sleep you well.
Oh my little perfect son,
can't understand what you have done for me.
You showed me what my life was worth;
changed every colour with your birth.
If many years from now you hear this song
know I'm next to you, no I'm never gone.
You are who I'm fighting for,
so let them come to our front door; I'll stand.
Oh, sleep you well.
Oh, sleep you well.
Sleep you well my son,
we'll be home for you when the battle's done..
Sleep you well my son,
we'll be home for you when the battle's done..
Sleep you well my son,
we'll be home for you when the battle's done..
