Sleep Well

My bed is cold without you here beside me Life is old…pain is withering away My blankets are warm…around me… Strife will cease in no time…but not today So sleep well, my darling angel… Sleep without a sound So sleep well, my darling angel… I’ll take you out of the chilly cell of your mind So sleep near me for a minute or two Life is almost over…you’re sane and I am too My pillows are not there on my bed Strife will cease…if only you’d wait…I hope you knew That I loved you for so long… But it’s not the right time to say it You wouldn’t believe it But, I really wanted to show you… That you are beautiful inside and out So sleep well, my darling angel Sleep well; lay your head on my shoulder Maybe it will help…maybe it’ll not, but oh well… So sleep well, my darling angel… Sleep without a sound So sleep well, my darling angel… I’ll take you out of the chilly cell of your mind Dream with me…for a time… Wipe away our past grime I’m still waiting for your love to touch my soul And yet I cry…for your love to make me feel whole I can’t go to sleep unless you’re here… But I shall not have fear Plant a good thought in my head Burn away my dread I’ve seen you once upon a time I’ve never noticed you, dancing in a flick of a dime Wake me up from my nightmare… Mirror my pain…if you’d dare… So sleep well, my darling angel… Sleep without a sound So sleep well, my darling angel… I’ll take you out of the chilly cell of your mind My heart is cold without you here hanging around me Life is full of sorrow…pain increases slowly My heart is beating…and I could hear it in my head…beating profoundly Maybe…strife will stop sooner than you think…we’ll be free Just believe…sleep well… Just close your eyes…I know you’re tired… Don’t grieve…sleep well…
