Close Your Little Eyes (A Mother's Lament)
Lyricist：Shih-Ping Su
Composer：Shih-Ping Su

Close your little eyes sleep tight tonight
For you are still a baby tonight
In your mother's loving arms you're safe and warm
And nothing can trouble you
For you are still a baby sleeping in your mother's arms
One day you'll grow up to be a fine young man
With all the curiosities of youth
And a pair of fiery eyes full of dreams
You'll venture away to explore the world
We bid you goodbye and take all our lovings along
Will you find the woman you love
And will you be brave to ask
Will you lose your calmness in the busy city streets
And if the woman you love declines your invite
Will you have the courage to go back
And ask again in the cold rainy night
When the winds and stormy seas get the better of you
When the mountain roads become too steep
Will you wither away or go astray
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Or persist on towards your dreams
And when the days grow increasingly weary
You find yourself searching for a reason to go on
Amidst empty beer cans and cigarette butts
Will you have the courage to call home
Perhaps it was our selfishness that brought you into this world
Perhaps you were never able to brave the stormy seas
Or return to her on that cold rainy night
Perhaps it should be a mother's lament
that I've set too high of an expectation
Or maybe not enough
And you never became the man we wanted you to be
But just know that no matter what happens
You can always return to my warm embrace
For you are always mine
My little boy
Until then sleep peacefully tonight
For tonight you're still a baby
Safe and warm in your mother's loving arms
So close your little eyes
And sleep tight tonight
