SLEEP BE MY COMPANION

SLEEP – BE MY COMPANION

Sleep be my companion

And hold me in your arms.

Tell me I need not fear

The chill of winter’s harms.

Sleep be my companion

Let me rest with you,

Let me feel your comfort

Until morning comes peeping through.

Sleep be my companion

While I am snug and warm inside,

Let me hear your sweet dreams lapping

Let me drift upon your tide

Sleep be my companion ~

No nasty dreams for me.

Let me feel your gentle breezes

Let me sail upon your sea.

Sleep be my companion

Let me wake refreshed again,

No more staring at the ceiling

And listening to the rain.

Sleep be my companion

Calm my troubled heart

Let us meet again each night

And another journey start.
