Lay your heads upon your bed
 and rest well,
we will stand here watching
while you sleep,
September's blanket

drapes so softly on you,
 and you can be assured
' this Guard' we'll keep.
 It seems like yesterday
 you both curled up there,
 embraced together as you fell asleep,
 two friends holding tight onto each other
 sinking into dreams so very deep.
The world outside your tender sleep
 is hostile,
 but there's no trace of fear
 within your dreams,
 and just like toddlers
 lost in thoughts of candy
 for the two of you
 that's how it seems.

 We stand by
and we all cry
to see you,
 but you will never wake
to see our pain,
 for you fell into sleeping
 with the angels,
and comforted by them
you will remain.

Lay your heads upon your bed
 and rest well,
 we will stand here

watching over you,

September and her arms
 will always hold you
 and the watch
we keep upon you,
will stay TRUE.
