Stars Go To Sleep
Stars! Why be awake with me
Hit the bed and go to sleep
You are not enslaved by agony but free
My bleeding soul’s wounds are deep

Through my open window you peep
With your twinkling searching eyes
Your glow in my gloomy nights creep
With the grace of the fireflies

Someone gifted...

May all your worries melt away, hush now and go to sleep.
It's scary, but we must be brave, hush now and go to sleep.

May the world be your playground where you slide freely. But know
that you can't always have your way, hush now and go...

When You Go To Sleep
I dread the day when I get "the call"
When they tell me that you've gently slipped away
Well, at least I hope it will be gentle
As you close your eyes and say goodnight
Despite my fear of your imminent passing
My darling, you don't know the times I've...

Time to sleep so lay down your head little one,
and I will watch over you till the night is done !

All the stars are twinkling and smiling in the sky,
maybe in a sweet dream you can learn how to fly !

The moon above will...

Go To Sleep Nursery Rhyme
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep little one
Close your eyes
Watch the skies
While it whispers your name
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep little one
Let the stars fall
Let the stars call
While it whispers your name

Go to sleep my Grandchild,

Close your eyes little boy,

Dream land awaits you,
where troubles will be few.

Go To Sleep
To the girl writing poetry at 2 am
Stop
You are beautiful 
You're like the moon if the moon ever came down to earth
You are more precious than a single moon beam shining down through my open window
at night as I lay there wishing for sleep to...

Theater of Dreams / Don'T Go To Sleep
Trapped in a theater of dreams,
Haunted by heartless screams.
The man who owns this place,
Shows whatever he deems.

Traveling hyper-speed through space,
Not being allowed to see anyone's face,
Still sitting in my chair,
My mind's not in it's place.

There is no such thing as care,
Especially in a place with...

Dad Did Go To Sleep
Dad Did Go to Sleep

Dad did go to sleep
He now lies in ocean deep
While I weep and weep.

My Dad was killed on Aircraft Carrier
Intrepid CNV-11 now in New York
harbor as a museum where a debate
was help. He is now buried in 200 feet
of water off...

Premium Member Before I Go To Sleep

    God, please remove all fear from my soul,
    Whose eyes glow dark, as the blackest coal.

    I really forget, as my earthly, fellow humans do,
    That you are the only power behind...

Go To Sleep Please
Be quiet.
I'm trying to fall asleep.
Stop the disquiet.
I shouldn't need to count sheep.
I'm not interested
in what you might say.
You've been treated for what's inhibited.
You should be okay.
It's of no consequence to me
what you're wearing tomorrow.
Put something on with glee.
I refuse to live in your sorrow.
I'm...

Go To Sleep
No monsters are beneath your bed
The window’s locked, lay down your head
I’ve read the stories that you like
It’s time for sleep you little tyke

Just one more kiss and then I’m gone
Your stalling has gone on too long
Your mom and I are just down stairs
You’re safe...

Go to sleep now, little one
Though today was so much fun
Playtime is, for now, all done
Close your eyes my little one

Dream of waking with the Sun
When the new day has begun
Then again you'll play and run
Go to sleep now, little one
