Tell me I will never die
Take away my pain
Rock me gently in your arms
Say that I'll remain in your keeping

Brush the hair out from my eyes
Read me a good story
Kiss my finger tips good night
Say that I can stay in your company

And I know this much is true
I have lived inside of you
You have always seen me through
While I am peacefully sleeping

You have always been my friend
I can see your beauty shining
I will love you till the end
Long will I remain in your keeping

And I know this much is true
I have lived inside of you
You have always seen me through
While I am peacefully sleeping
While I am peacefully sleeping

    I think that this song is in a way a tribute to mothers. It seems that even though this singer is all grown up she still need her mother's reassurance just as she did when she was a little girl...the lyrics are great but IMHO, its the music itself that really makes this song so beautiful.

    This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. It makes me cry when I think about it being for her mother.

    A beautiful song. I like the idea that it's about a mother. Very sweet.
