Sleep

(Jack Clement)



Sleep, sweet and deep

Visit me for awhile

Sleep, come over me

Let me rest and dream awhile.



Of two young lovers making plans

Of dreams I dreamed when dreams began

Of things that could and should have been

Before the eternal sadness moved in.



Sleep take over me

Set me free to dream awhile.



Of sunlight shining in her hair

Of days with laughter in the air

Of my world of sweetness again

Before the eternal sadness moved in.



Sleep sweet and deep

Let me rest and dream awhile.



Let me rest and dream awhile...
