Promise

 Songwriter's Note by Julie Nolen: I wrote this song for my nephew when he was 2 years old. It's basically a promise to him that I will always be there for him, no matter what.  It took me a few years of being a dumb teenager to realize that family really is the most important social institution in your life. Especially the younger generation - they're the ones that will come visit you and bring you contraband in the old folks home.

I send my love to you every night through the man on the moon
When he holds you in your sleep I’m here with you and you’re here with me

You’ll never ever have a bad dream, cause we’ll be playing under the moon beams
When it’s time to say goodbye, I’ll just say see you tomorrow night

Sweet dreams
I’ll be there by your side
And I will kiss your cheek
and we will make it through the night
And I promise you that there will never be a time
When I won’t be there when you close your eyes
Yes I’ll be there when you close your eyes

You and me on midnight adventures
man on the moon will be our mentor
He’ll tell us everything he knows
like when the sun sets where does he go

Stars’ will tell us all their stories
until they fade away up in the morning
When it’s time to say goodbye
we’ll just say see you tomorrow night

Sweet dreams
I’ll be there by your side
And I will kiss your cheek
and we will make it through the night
And I promise you that there will never be a time
When I won’t be there when you close your eyes
Yes I’ll be there when you close your eyes

Though there may be a time
for you and I
The distance between us may be more than miles
I give my word to you before morning light
I’ll always be there every tomorrow night
