lyrics

It was late when she called me
tired, but she couldn't sleep
She said "sing me a melody
that helps me close my eyes"
and these were the first words in my mind

Sleep take her away
from everything thats keeping her awake
just listen to my voice and know that your safe
to fall into your dreams
as I sing
you to sleep

The years pass and so much has changed
now I come home and she's there waiting
for the one thing
that's always stayed true
before she falls asleep
I sing this through

Sleep take her away
from everything thats keeping her awake
just listen to my voice and know that your safe
to fall into your dreams
as I sing
you to sleep

Time never seems to stop
been married fifty years
with kids all grown up
I've reached my time
laying in my bed
she put her hands in mine
and softly sang

Sleep take him away
from everything thats keeping him awake
I listen to her voice and know that I'm safe
to fall into my dreams
as she sings
you to sleep
