"Goodnight, My Angel"

To the song "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" by Billy Joel,
Lyrics by Batya "The Toon" Levin

(a variant of the original, as sung by Demona to Jerusha)

Goodnight, my angel, soon the sun will rise
So save these questions for another night
I think I know what you've been asking me
All I can say is it will be all right
I gave my promise to your mother
So you will always know
And as your children grow
No matter where they are
I never will be far away

Goodnight, young angel, time to turn to stone
And still so many things I want to say
For a millenium I was alone
In guilt and madness and despair I strayed
But child, I always will be with you
To guard you while you sleep
The years lie dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Goodnight, sweet angel, now it's time to dream
But hear my vow of what is yet to be
Someday your child may cry
Then I will sing this lullabye
And in my heart
You will always be a part of me.

Someday you may be gone
But promises go on and on
They never die
That's how you and I
Will be.
