[Verse 1: Dan Seals, Dan Seals & Emmylou Harris]
Sleep, lay me down, and hold me closely in your arms
And I will close my eyes
Please, promise me that when I wake up from my dreams
You'll be there by my side
[Chorus: Dan Seals & Emmylou Harris]
Love, if you say you won't slip away
Then I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won't rest until
I know that you will be here in the morning by my side
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Emmylou Harris, Emmylou Harris & Dan Seals]
Here in my reach
I can see the one that I have waited for so long
And deep in my heart I hope the arms that hold me now
Will hold me from now on
[Chorus: Dan Seals & Emmylou Harris]
Love, if you say you won't slip away
Then I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won't rest until
I know that you will be here in the morning by my side
In the morning by my side
