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
