I already hear your handmade china heart hitting the ground
Burst to thousand pieces with an ear piercing sound
So I'm not really sure if I should show you what i have found
Does staring at each other make our heartbeat synchronize
She asked: "Do you think these colors all look different in all eyes?"
And I'm not really sure if that sounds foolish or very wise
In my song she sleeps tonight
Sleep tonight, sleep tonight
Goes along in peace and quiet
On the quiet, on the quiet
[solo]
I cut her into pieces and then hide her in a song
A lovely little melody that still feels kind of wrong
'Cause I'm not really sure if I could ask you to sing along
Her laughter is the chorus to a long and bitter verse
Her lips are precious poetry without speaking a word
But I'm not really sure if I'm allowed to steal a kiss from her
Well, I'm not really sure if I'm allowed to steal a kiss from her
In my song she sleeps tonight
Sleep tonight, sleep tonight
Goes along in peace and quiet
On the quiet, on the quiet
[solo]
From time to time the echoes of her perfume cross my way
I chase them through my mind trying hard to make them stay
Cause I'm not really sure if I am happy they'll fade away
I'm not really sure if I am happy she'll fade away
