Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by gary osborne<br>Released as a uk b-side in 1980<br><br>Steal away child into your dreams<br>Where nothing is ever the way that it seems<br>I gave you your life, you gave me your trust<br>I've no wish to hurt you but hurt you I must<br>Steal away child, turn down your light<br>Steal away into the night<br><br>Steal away child to the land of the lies<br>Where love lasts forever and hope never dies<br>Sit safe for a place peaceful and calm<br>Where no one and nothing can harm you<br><br>Steal away child, you'll be alright<br>Steal away into the night<br>Once more goodnight, one last goodbye<br>Trying hard not to show how I'm making what it's taking not to cry<br><br>Steal away child, sleeping so still<br>Our love is too precious for distance to kill<br>But when you awake, morning has come<br>I won't be the one you turn to<br>I'll do what I must before it gets light<br>I'll steal away into the night<br><br>Steal away child<br>Steal away into the night
