Written by Greg Trooper, Tom Russell
Go to sleep my darling
Lay down upon your bed
May the rhymes of childhood songs
Dance inside your head
When night time falls around you
I know that you're afraid
But the heart will bring you home again
The heart is built that way
The heart will bring you home again
It hasn't failed us yet
The heart will bring you home again
The heart does not forget
So close your eyes my darling
Close your eyes and dream
The world is full of promises
And love is all it seems
Yes there will be the hard roads
That lead us all astray
But the heart will bring you home again
The heart is built that way
The heart will bring you home again
It hasn't failed us yet
The heart will bring you home again
The heart does not forget
The sun will rise my darling
And glisten off the streets
So close your eyes and believe in love
And feel safe inside your dreams
Cause no one's going to harm you
Or carry you away
But the heart will bring you home again
The heart is built that way
The heart will bring you home again
It hasn't failed us yet
The heart will bring you home again
The heart does not forget
