Elton John - Steal Away Child lyrics

Music by elton john

Lyrics by gary osborne

Released as a uk b-side in 1980

Steal away child into your dreams

Where nothing is ever the way that it seems

I gave you your life, you gave me your trust

I've no wish to hurt you but hurt you I must

Steal away child, turn down your light

Steal away into the night

Steal away child to the land of the lies

Where love lasts forever and hope never dies

Sit safe for a place peaceful and calm

Where no one and nothing can harm you

Steal away child, you'll be alright

Steal away into the night

Once more goodnight, one last goodbye

Trying hard not to show how I'm making what it's taking not to cry

Steal away child, sleeping so still

Our love is too precious for distance to kill

But when you awake, morning has come

I won't be the one you turn to

I'll do what I must before it gets light

I'll steal away into the night

Steal away child

Steal away into the night
