Sleep

(Jack Clement)



Sleep sweet and deep

Close my eyes with a smile

Sleep come over me

Let me rest and dream awhile.



I want to dream of

Two young lovers holding hands

The dreams that

I used to dream way back when.



All the things that could and should've been

Before the eternal sadness set in

Sleep sweet and deep

Let me rest and dream awhile.



--- Instrumental ---



Let me dream of the sunlight shining in her hair

Of the days with laughter in the air

Take me back to my world of happiness again

Before the eternal sadness set in.



Sleep sweet and deep let me rest and dream awhile

Let me rest and dream awhile...
