Sleep, My Darling, Sleep



If I could only lay my lips
upon your heavy laden eyes,
and gently place a kiss
there on your tired lips,

I would kiss away your weariness;
breathe the breath of dreams,
and lead you with me, Darling,
to the land of tranquil sleep.

Tho' the miles that stretch between us
keep me from kissing you tonight
I will wish you into peaceful sleep
if you close your eyes and fantasize.

And I will kiss away your weariness;
breathe the breath of dreams,
and lead you with me, Darling,
to the land of tranquil sleep.
