My prayer tonight is that you finally get some sleep

It is slowly killing me to see you like this

It's been another tough day

One that steals that smile from your face

I know I’m supposed to ease your pain

But really what can I say

So I will sing you songs throughout the night

Until the sun comes back and shines its light


Would you please close your eyes

And forget about the world that's waiting for you

I'll be by your side, I will never leave you

They laugh at you but they just don't know

You’ve got a lot on your shoulders, wherever you go


So please don’t cry

Can’t you see it’s breaking my heart

Just close your eyes, I’ll sing you lullabies

May God keep your soul and give you the rest you need

May your demons let you sleep

May you finally find peace


Would you please close your eyes

And forget about the world that's waiting for you

I'll be by your side, I will never leave you

They laugh at you but they just don't know

You’ve got a lot on your shoulders, wherever you go


So please don’t cry

Can’t you see it’s breaking my heart

Just close your eyes, I’ll sing you lullabies
