Sleep Please Come to Me Oh sleep please come to me Its a quarter after Three I've been here since One, I'm not having any fun Won't you ease this misery There are things I gotta do Oh tomorrow before noon If you don't make haste, the morning I will waste Trying to get caught up to you Oh sleep don't close the door It's a-twenty after Four It's time the sheep were shorn, their wool is getting worn And I can't count them anymore
I'm asking when will you arrive Cause it's getting closer to Five Well I thought I might have sensed you round and round But I guess my senses lack So still I lie here tucked and tied In the cool, pale, blue moonlight With my lover's breath and the thoughts that fill my head Instead of sweet, sweet dreams tonight Instead of sweet, sweet dreams tonight Instead of sweet, sweet dreams tonight
