My Darling Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go back to sleep now, my darling
And I'll keep all the bad dreams away
Breathe now, think sweet things
And I'll think of all the right words to say

[Chorus]
Because we made you, my darling
With the love in each of our hearts
We were a family, my darling
Right from the start

[Verse 2]
Grow up now, my darling
Please don't you grow up too fast
And be sure, darling
To make all the good times last

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
